A new poll, released Monday by the Siena College Research Institute, reports that more New Yorkers still oppose hydrofracking than those who support it.

While the number of those who oppose fracking still stand steady at 43 percent, as it has since February, the percentage of supporters has dropped from 41 percent to 40 percent since April.

In addition, 51 percent of upstate voters say they oppose the industry, compared to 40 percent of New York City and 35 percent of the New York City suburban area. Forty-one percent of upstate voters support it.
