| Description | WASHINGTON - Most Utahns support expanding the lines of embryonic stem cells available for federal funding, a position matched by a majority of their federal representatives.
The politically dicey stem cell debate has pitted moderates against conservatives, and President Bush has threatened to veto a bill advancing in the GOP-dominated Congress that would allow more stem cell research.
In Republican-heavy Utah, nearly 53 percent of adults back the legislation that would enlarge the research, according to a poll commissioned June 8-10 by The Salt Lake Tribune. About 35 percent disagree with the proposal, and 12 percent didn't know or declined to answer.
Such support is "very interesting," to Kirk Jowers, the incoming director of the University of Utah's Hinckley Institute of Politics.
"I would kind of think that people wouldn't be acquainted with it to come down on it," Jowers said. |
