A majority of Americans back resuming work on a major pipeline that President Joe Biden blocked soon after taking office, according to a new poll.

Some 71 percent of respondents to the survey said they “favor very much” or “favor somewhat” Biden signing an executive order to restart construction of the Keystone XL pipeline.
