IBD Poll: Public Favors Limiting Collective Bargaining
IBD's Capital Hill ^ | 4/12/2011 | Sean Higgins

By 45%-42%, voters back Republican efforts to balance state budgets by limiting collective bargaining rights for government unions, according to the latest IBD/TIPP poll. That stance is backed by Republicans, 80%-8%, and by independents, 46%-36%. Even 14% of Democrats say limit collective bargaining.

That’s a switch from last month when an IBD/TIPP poll asked whether voters favored Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker or the state public employee unions in that state’s showdown over bargaining rights. That poll found the public supported the unions, 49%-43%. Democrats backed the unions, 83%-11%, while independents backed them, 47%-42%. Republicans backed Walker, 82%-11%.

Really....and all my liberal friends have been telling me otherwise because of the phoney polls that are out there, along with the lying media. Gee, what a surprise.
I’ll go out on a limb here and also say the vast majority want Obamacare repealed...I’m just sayin.

The unions gotta go! They may not be “unconstitutional” but they are unAmerican.
