Washington Post - In a new survey,
the University of Delaware's Center for Political Communication found
that support for neutrality is strong and widespread -- regardless of
gender, age, race and level of education. About 81 percent of Americans
oppose allowing Internet providers like Comcast and Verizon to charge
Web sites and services more if they want to reach customers more
quickly, that is, allowing what are often called "Internet fast lanes."
Most surprising of all, given comments
by Republican lawmakers over the past couple of days, is that support
for net neutrality is bipartisan. Indeed, Republicans were slightly more
likely to support net neutrality than Democrats. Eighty-one percent of
Democrats and 85 percent of Republicans in the survey said they opposed
fast lanes. The poll's margin of error was 3.2 percentage points.
