Greenpeace Fracking Survey

The British public is broadly divided about the prospect of companies fracking in Britain, with 42% supporting the idea and slightly fewer (35%) opposing it.

However, there are large gender differences with men more likely to support fracking and women more likely to oppose it.

Although Britons are most likely to say that a local candidate backing fracking would not make a difference to the way they voted (44%), they are twice as likely to say that it would make them less likely to vote for the candidate (31%) as say it would make them more likely to vote for them (13%).
