Almost two-thirds of Wyoming voters surveyed in a recent poll want oil and gas drilling stopped in the Wyoming Range pending further study.
The poll, conducted by the conservation group Trout Unlimited, queried 400 Wyoming voters about issues surrounding proposed oil and gas leases in the area. It showed that 63 percent of voters would prefer to halt oil and gas leases until federal officials conduct further environmental studies. Thirty percent of those contacted said more study is not necessary. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 5 percent.
