Rasmussen poll: 53% oppose EPA regulation of greenhouse gases without congressional approval

Rasmussen Reports just released a poll that finds 53 percent of Americans are against the Environmental Protection Agency regulating greenhouse gases without the approval of Congress. Expect that number to soar when Americans discover that EPA intrusion will lead to much higher electricity rates, fewer jobs, and a lower standard of living.

All in the name of "Fighting global warming." Climategate be damned.

In September, Republican senators John Thune and Lisa Murkowski introduced an amendment that would prohibiting the EPA from issuing such findings.

The Democrats voted it down.

Eleven months to Election Day.
