The approval rating of one of the biggest supporters of Obama's attempt to impose a socialist system on America has plummeted. Gallup has been polling on the public's attitude to Labor Unions since the 1930s. They report public support of unions is at an all time low.
More broadly, fewer than half of Americans -- 48%, an all-time low -- approve of labor unions, down from 59% a year ago.
This is seven percentage points below the former low of 55%, reached in both 1979 and 1981. In addition, such a sharp decline has also only been seen once before, in the late 1950s. With the administration relying on organized labor to come out strong for his agenda, these are grim numbers.

Stinking corrupt unions and their union goon bosses. Totally evil. I will never but a UAW built car again. I bought a Ford assembled in Mexico. In the future probably a transplant built in a non-union American plant by non-union American workers. A Honda, BMW or something made by non-UAW American workers.
The Nazis only ever got 44% of the vote - didn’t stop them.
Just say "No" to the Socialist Workers Party.
I wonder what the percentage would be in Fond u Lac, WI would be right now?
Could it be related to SEWER Union employees beating up anti-obamacare protestors and biting off their fingers.
Forcing people to join unions when they do not want to only makes them bitter and vengeful. It is precisely because unions are so intimidating and arrogant and often do things that actually wind up hurting their dues paying members than helping them like calling for strikes in the middle of deepening recessions and not trying to keep vosts under control so that the companies can compete in a global market effectively. Unions have long now outlived their usefulness. And it is precisely because of entities such as ACORN and the ACLU that are actually exacerbating the union problems. Unions have become much like organizations like the UN and AARP, more interested in their own survival and doing whatever it takes to ensure that survival at the expense of doing the right thing and listening to all their members attentively.
?? Union workers who have been screwed by O and their union bosses? Didn’t Fond u Lac have a big layoff this past week.
The unions are so stupid and evil. Nancy Pelosi/Gore/Reid with their global woraming fantasy power grab have killed MILLIONS of union and manufacturing jobs. We have the energy, we could have nuke power plants. Jobs are leaving due to taxes, union rules, ENERGY COSTS (electricity), enviro laws and other lib crap.
I have no sympathy for union workers losing their jobs. By voting for Dems - they have screwed themselves.
Good point.
The same syndrome can be seen in our career politicians.
Its all about them.
