I'm guessing the poll results are heavily weighted to "yes".

Biden's oil, gas moratorium dealt potentially fatal blow by federal court
A federal district court blocked the Biden administration's moratorium on federal oil and gas leasing, a potentially fatal blow to the policy that has been tied up in a legal battle since early 2021.
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana Judge Terry Doughty issued a permanent injunction blocking the leasing moratorium in a ruling late Thursday evening.
Doughty wrote that President Biden "lacked any authority" to implement the policy under the Mineral Leasing Act (MLA) and Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA) which regulate federal leasing on public lands and waters.
"The Court finds Section 208 of Executive Order 14008 is ultra vires, beyond the authority of the President of the United States, and in violation of the OCSLA and the MLA," he wrote in the opinion. "Even the President cannot make significant changes to the OCSLA and/or the MLA that Congress did not delegate."
Biden issued Executive Order 14008 — titled the "Executive Order on Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad" — on Jan. 27, 2021, days after taking office. The action ordered the Department of the Interior (DOI) to pause new oil and natural gas leases, a policy Biden pledged to pursue during his 2020 campaign, while it conducts a review of the federal leasing program.

The growing threat to democracy is the most important issue facing the country, according to a new poll that also found strong support for continued investigations into the actions of former President Donald Trump.
San Antonio police officer Elizabeth Montoya, who was fired for punching a handcuffed pregnant woman in the back of a police car 7 times in the head, was reinstated in arbitration after her attorney pointed out 17 instances of SA police officers who kept their jobs after doing worse.

“Why do Republicans Senators allow a broken down hack politician, Mitch McConnell, to openly disparage hard working Republican candidates for the United States Senate,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“This is such an affront to honor and to leadership. He should spend more time (and money!) helping them get elected, and less time helping his crazy wife and family get rich on China!” he added.

DoJ releases memo sent to Bill Barr saying Donald Trump should not be charged with obstruction
Rob Crilly, Senior U.S. Political Reporter For Dailymail.Com and Associated Press - Yesterday 5:27 PM
The Justice Department on Wednesday released the unredacted 2019 memo that concluded nothing President Donald Trump did - including firing the FBI director - amounted to obstruction of justice or warranted a prosecution in relation to the Mueller investigation.
Even without constitutional barriers to charging a president, it says, there is no case to answer...
...The nine-page memo, prepared for then-Attorney General William Barr by a pair of senior Justice Department officials, offered a legal analysis on whether Trump had criminally obstructed the investigation into potential ties between Russia and his 2016 presidential campaign.
Though the decision to clear Trump of obstruction has been well-documented, the newly disclosed memo offers additional details about how two of the department's senior-most leaders arrived at that conclusion...

In one case the house and Senate passed a bill related to loans.
In the recent case, nobody voted for it. Biden just decided to do it.
Big difference.
