Better Mood at the Gas Pump. What About the Voting Booth? - New York Times

Better Mood at the Gas Pump. What About the Voting Booth? - New York Times:

Her opinion was reflected in a Sept. 15-17 Gallup poll, which found that 42 percent of respondents said that they believed the Bush administration was manipulating the price of gasoline in advance of the fall elections.
