67% Disapprove of Legislators Fleeing Wisconsin to Avoid Vote

Rasmussen Reports ^ | 02/24/2011 | Scott Rasmussen

Half of America’s voters favor public sector unions for government workers, but they strongly oppose the tactic by Wisconsin state senators to flee their state to prevent a vote that would limit the rights of such unions.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that only 25% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of this tactic, while 67% disapprove. State legislators in Indiana have used the same approach to avoid a vote in their state.

Sizable majorities of Republicans and voters not affiliated with either major party reject such a strategy. Democrats are fairly evenly divided, with 48% approving and 44% disapproving.

If true, then there will be even less Democrat lawmakers elected in the next election

I say cut off their pay checks if they have any state credit cards or anything like that then cut them off and then ignore them completely..The more attention these morons get the more they will act up..Ignore them..The people will take care of the morons come 2012..

What most Dems don't understand that the American people DO, is that with this tactic of fleeing a vote, essentially the Dems are saying that they want to be tyrants who have to win every single vote and if not, they'll force democracy into the channel THEY want and nobody else in the country matters. They're TERRIFIED of losing the union influence that keeps getting them elected.

Even the core of the union collective bargaining tactic is anti-democracy. FORCE non-union members to pay for the stance the union wants.

There is nothing democratic about the Democratic Party.

Godspeed

Disheartening - what’s wrong with 33% of America?

-"Half of America’s voters favor public sector unions for government workers,..."

Why????

Why do they need to have a union in the first place?

Why is it that the tax-payers have to FUND their UNION, with taxpayer money?

Union FORCED memeber's dues are paid with their 'TAXPAYER-PAID' income, so why do WE have to fund their union????

6% of all US private sector workers are union members. Just over 30% of public sector workers are union members for a total of just over 14 million.

It is good that they are making America aware of their agenda. This bru-ha-ha will probably damage them in the long run.

It has now become a matter of the unions against the rest of America. What is happening in WI may just be a blessing in disguise by showing the American public how divided we are as a nation and how one group has acquired priviliges at the expense of another.
