The American public has clear ideas of which industries should have more government regulation.

The percentage of adults who believe the oil industry should be more regulated has increased since last year when only 46 percent of the public thought this.

Other industries that the public thinks should have more regulation are health insurance companies, electric and gas utilities and managed care companies, such as H-M-O's.
