Not all the polls seem to support unions as much as has been widely reported.
Quinnipiac's poll yield some different numbers:
- 46% say government shut down ok, 44% think it's bad (not really pertinent to unions)
- 35% say government worker pay about right, 42% say it's too much
- 63% to 31%, government workers should contribute more to their benefits and retirement programs
- "Efforts by governors to limit collective bargaining rights are motivated by a desire to reduce government costs rather than to weaken unions", voters agree 47% - 41%
Note: The forum wouldn't let me post the URL to the Quinnipiac poll because I'm a newbie so you'll have to Google it....sorry.
