POLL OVERVIEW<br />
---------------------<br />
A bipartisan group of legislators have been attempting to reform the sugar price-support program that currently costs consumers and businesses an estimated $3.5 billion and 20,000 jobs each year. <br />
<br />
Sugar is the most tightly controlled agricultural commodity in the nation. Current federal policies keep prices artificially high. <br />
<br />
The federal government also tightly controls the supply of sugar in the United States. Domestic producers are limited to strict quotas, and imports are severely restricted. Because of this, American manufacturers pay double the world's average price for sugar, which leads to higher prices at the grocery store. <br />
<br />
