Does ignorance of fracking reflect ignorance of rurality?

A recent University of Texas at Austin Energy Poll showed that 35% of Americans have never heard of fracking and that 28% are not familiar with it.  Because so much fracking occurs in rural and quasi- rural places, I can't help wonder if this is just another reflection of the invisibility of rural.

Other recent headlines about fracking are:
