TUESDAY: NWF to Release New National Poll of Sportsmen
What influences sportsmen more - gun rights or conservation? When asked to choose between protecting public lands and prioritizing energy production, which do these conservative-leaning sportsmen choose? How do they feel about the future of conservation in America as children spend more time indoors and the impacts of global warming change the places they hunt and fish?
A teleconference on Tuesday September 25 at 11am ET will unveil the results of a new nationwide poll of 800 hunters and anglers conducted by Chesapeake Beach Consulting. The teleconference will feature a detailed analysis from the pollster, along with reaction from some of America's leading conservation voices about what the results means for candidates seeking the votes of hunters and anglers.
