Poll finds Farm-Belt Voters want to eliminate or scale back corn ethanol mandate

This week the National Center for Policy Research, a think tank in Washington, released the results of a poll they conducted regarding the corn ethanol mandate. The poll found that 41% of Americans want Congress to repeal the corn ethanol mandate entirely, while 35% want Congress to repeal the law it passed last December to double it. Just 6% want the mandate to increase as planned while 5% want it to be even expanded further. Interestingly, the survey also found a majority in the Farm Belt want Congress to change the ethanol policy. Twenty-five percent want it repealed entirely while 30% want it scaled back.
