6/17/13: Siena Research Institute: see last paragraph: 
Opposition to Fracking Increases a Little, Even as the Issue Continues to Divide Voters “Opposition to fracking increased a little this month and opponents outnumber supporters 44-37 percent, up from 41-39 percent last month. The seven-point edge in opposition is the largest it has been,” Greenberg said. “There is a clear partisan divide as it is supported nearly two-to-one by Republicans, opposed two-to-one by Democrats and divides independents virtually evenly. A majority of upstaters and plurality of New York City voters oppose fracking, while a plurality of downstate suburbanites wants to see fracking move forward.”
