New ATI-News/Zogby Poll Finds 58 Percent of Union Members in the United States Oppose Big Three Bailout

As Congress mulls whether or not to spend anywhere from 15 billion to 34 billion dollars in taxpayer money to bailout Ford, General Motors and Chrysler, a new ATI-News/Zogby poll shows a clear majority of Americans, including union employees, oppose such a bailout.

Surprisingly, 57 percent of self-declared union members think Congress should deny the Big Three a taxpayer-funded bailout, while only 29 percent of union members approve of such a bailout. Democrats are roughly split on the issue, as 43 percent approve of a bailout, and 41 percent disapprove.

Overall, the poll found that 61 percent of American voters are opposed to a bailout for the automakers, and only 25 percent approve of a bailout.
