"More than half of voters oppose proposed plans by the Trump administration to expand oil and gas drilling off coastal states, according to a poll out Tuesday.
The survey conducted by the Program for Public Consultation at the University of Maryland found that 60 percent of voters surveyed are against the Interior Department's plan to lift a ban on oil drilling along coastlines and expand drilling around Alaska.
Additionally, 70 percent of respondents supported states' rights to request a drilling exemption through a waiver, the study found."
