The oil-carrying Keystone Pipeline would not go through Idaho, but most Idahoans still disagree with President Barack Obama’s decision to reject its construction, a new Idaho Politics Weekly poll finds.

Here is a map of the pipeline’s proposed routed, from Canada through states just east of Idaho.

Idahoans don’t much like Obama or his policies, and that is reflected in results from a new poll by Dan Jones & Associates.

Jones finds:

• 54 percent of all Idahoans disagree with Obama’s pipeline rejection.


• 26 percent support the president’s decision not to allow the pipeline’s construction.


• 20 percent don’t know how they feel about the pipeline.


• Idaho Republicans sure know: They disagree with the president’s rejection, 74-7 percent.


• Democrats back their president, 63 percent say the pipeline should not be built, 17 percent want it.


• Political independents stand against Obama on this one, 49-31 percent.

Jones polled 603 adults from Nov. 18-28, margin of error plus or minus 3.99 percent.
