Environment: Nearly Half of Americans Cite 'Too Little' Environmental Regulation

WSJ.com: Asked this: "Do you agree or disagree with this statement: Protecting the environment is so important that requirements and standards cannot be too high, and continuing environmental improvements must be made regardless of cost," a nation-wide phone survery of 1, 217 adults revealed that 74% agree.

Here are the percentages by party affiliation and then political persuasion: 60% (Republican), 85% (Democrat), 75% (Independent), and 69% (Conservative), 77% (Moderate) and 82% (Liberal).

How (as wingers claim), if liberals are so out of touch with the values of average Americans, do we so often agree with them? Could it be that we are "them"?
