Labor Day: Rasmussen finds that 44% support unions, 45% oppose them

May Day Occupy rally, 2012

Tomorrow is Labor Day, the holiday created to celebrate unions. Fittingly, this non-union blogger will report to his real job on Monday morning.

How do folks view unions? Rasmussen Reports asked:

Americans continue to have closely divided views of organized labor, but there's a much clearer difference of opinion between Republicans and Democrats.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 44% of American Adults have at least a somewhat favorable impression of labor unions, but that includes just 14% with a Very Favorable opinion. Forty-five percent (45%) view labor unions unfavorably, with 24% who have a Very Unfavorable impression of them. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
