Poll * USA - Americans: Unfair to Impose Trucking Regulations on FedEx Express

Alexandria VA,USA -Business Wire -June 17, 2009: -- On behalf of Brownbailout.com, Public Opinion Strategies conducted a national survey on June 2-3, 2009 of 800 registered voters regarding attitudes toward current legislation pertaining to overnight package delivery. The margin of error of the poll is +/- 3.46% in 95 out of 100 cases.

Some Key Findings

* Americans believe that overnight package delivery is important to the US economy. Fully 61% of voters say that overnight package delivery is either “extremely” (26%) or “very” (35%) important to the US economy. Another 30% believe it is “somewhat” important, and 7% say it is “not very” important.

* An overwhelming number of voters believe it is unfair to impose trucking regulations on FedEx’s shipping business. By a 70%-19% score, voters believe it is unfair for Congress to impose trucking regulations on FedEx’s shipping business in addition to the air regulations under which it has always operated.

What Americans seem to be saying in this poll data is that there is already significant competition between the nation’s two largest overnight delivery companies, providing them with choice and price competitiveness. The system isn’t broken, and they see no need to “fix” it through additional regulation.
