If Fox News ran the same poll, it would be 75% in favour of auto companies.

Don't underestimate the media's ability to push a narrative, because I think if 75% of Americans were pro union, the Republican and Democrat Parties would be finished.

I don't think 75% are pro-union, but a large number are pretty resentful about the current cost of vehicles.

If I'm forced to pay extra for a car, I'd want to know that the extra was going to the factory workers instead of their bottom line.
