As the auto workers strike approaches the one-month mark, more Americans sympathize with the striking workers than with the three big car companies that employ them.
That's one of the findings in a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
Rachel Collins, a fifth-grade teacher and union member in Chicago, says she hopes the UAW strike could help reverse a“For far too long, labor has been the backbone of what we do in this country but has never been compensated,” she said. “In the last 50 years we have seen the decline of the working class and the rise of this sort of billionaire class and corporations taking and taking and not giving anything to the workers.
Six in 10 people in the AP-NORC poll say they think better pay for the autoworkers would be a good thing. Eight in 10 Democrats and just under half of Republicans say it would be a good thing if the workers got raises. The poll shows only 25% of Americans approve of Biden's handling of the auto dispute, while 34% disapprove. Trump's ratings on the issue are even worse, with 19% approving and 39% disapproving of his response to the strike. Thirty-five percent trust Democrats more than Republicans when it comes to handling issues facing American workers, while 24% trust the GOP more.
