More Wal-blogging: Most Americans have favorable view of Wal-Mart

The last few years of negative campaigning by union-funded groups such as Wal-Mart Watch haven't turned the American public against Wal-Mart, the nation's largest retailer.

Rasmussen, the respected polling firm released the results of a recent poll asking Americans their opinion of Wal-Mart:

69% of Americans have a favorable opinion of Wal-Mart

79% of current or former Wal-Mart employees a favorable opinion of the company

54% of Americans say that Wal-Mart is good for the community

And the opponents of Wal-Mart of course go beyond negative campaigning. As you'll read in the below post, according to Ald. Bernard Stone of Chicago, bullying elected officials is a tactic that unions will utilize to further their anti-Wal-Mart agenda.

Hat tip to Marshall Manson of Edelman for the Rasmussen information. The Stone stuff below I found on my own.
