Most Wisconsin voters oppose Gov. Scott Walker’s efforts to eliminate the rights of public employees to bargain for good middle-class jobs. A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Wisconsin voters released today shows that 52 percent oppose weakening collective bargaining rights and just 39 percent are in favor.
The poll also revealed that nearly half of Wisconsin voters (49 percent) believe it’s good that most teachers belong to a union. Among those with children in the public school system, 58 percent believe that’s a good thing.
