YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - Ohioans have mixed feelings about the shale boom.
Those feelings are expressed in a new poll from Quinnipiac University.
Out of 16 hundred registered Ohio voters surveyed last week, 72 percent favor a moratorium on the hydro fracturing process used to drill for gas.
Twenty three percent oppose a delay in using the new drilling technology.
State representative Bob Hagan was joined by some local fracking opponents in downtown Youngstown on Thursday to talk about the poll.
"It signifies that people are starting to understand the dangers, understanding the fact that we have to move more slowly, that we need more of a study and that we have to have everything in place before we start creating the jobs that hopefully will come," Hagan said.
Eighty five percent of those surveyed in that same poll said they believe that drilling for natural gas in Ohio will create jobs.
