Poll Finds Public Opposition To Stripping Collective Bargaining Rights

From Mark Blumenthal.

A new USA Today/Gallup poll finds additional evidence of public opposition to efforts to roll back the collective bargaining rights of public employees. The survey, conducted by telephone Monday night, asked 1,000 adults randomly selected adults nationwide if they would favor or oppose "a law in your state taking away some collective bargaining rights of most public unions, including the state teachers union." They found 61% would oppose such a law, 33% would favor it and 6% were unsure.

USA Today's Dennis Cauchon also reports the following results which, he writes, "suggest how politically difficult it is to solve budget shortfalls" in state governments:

    * 71% oppose increasing sales, income or other taxes while 27% are in favor that approach.
    * 53% oppose reducing pay or benefits for government workers while 44% are in favor.
    * 48% opposed reducing or eliminating government programs while 47% were in favor of cuts.
