51% : In doing so, they downplayed the possibility of other options such as a federal gas tax holiday or offering oil companies more government incentives to increase production.
45% : But Democrats said oil companies have made a choice to pad profits rather than increase production.
42% : With voters concerned about the growing toll of inflation, Democrats again signaled their intention going into November's midterm elections to place much of the blame for high gas prices on oil companies.
