Ernst said that "a strong majority of Americans support" the Keystone XL pipeline.

She?s right that between 56 percent and 60 percent of the public has consistently supported the project when asked outright whether it should be built. However, one poll found public concern about building it before reviews are complete -- a stance more in tune with Obama than with Republican leaders.

The statement is accurate but needs clarification or additional information, so we rate it Mostly True.
