Poll: Americans blame U.S. oil companies for high gas prices

Americans, by a three-to-one margin, are more likely to blame U.S. oil companies than President Obama for skyrocketing gasoline prices. But slightly more people blame instability in the Middle East and North Africa for the spike in pump prices, which now top $4 per gallon in much of the country.

According to a recent McClatchy-Marist Poll, 36 percent of Americans think the volatility in the Middle east is to blame for these astronomical prices, 11 percent believe President Obama and the Democrats are the culprits, and seven percent hold the Republicans responsible.

Democrats and Independents — 44 percent and 39 percent, respectively — were more likely to point fingers at U.S. oil companies for high gas prices, while Republicans, 37 percent, were more likely to blame turmoil in the Middle East.

"There's plenty of blame to go around for high fuel prices in the minds of Americans," said Dr. Lee M. Miringoff, Director of the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion.
