Americans Would Vote For Right to Work: 71 to 22
Gallup, arguably the pre-eminent source of public opinion polls, has consistently found that most Americans would vote for Right to Work laws if given the chance. In fact, they've found that the pro-Right to Work majority is growing. This shouldn't be surprising, as the benefits of Right to Work laws -- and the abuses of compulsory unionism -- have continued to reveal themselves over the decades.
Gallup asked the question three different ways, using different framing and phrasing. But no matter how issue was presented, most Americans still answered in support of Right to Work.
"...In an update of a question asked in 1957, 71% of Americans said they would "vote for" a right-to-work law if they had the opportunity to do so, while 22% said they would vote against such a law. That is a slightly higher level of support than Gallup measured nearly 60 years ago.
