Registered Opinions

Nov 24, 2008

Keeping with the giving thanks theme, we are thankful that our post election survey shows:

  • Fully 88% of registered voters agree that "businesses large and small contribute to the U.S. in a positive way by providing jobs, growing our economy, and investing in our communities."

  • Voters overwhelming disapprove of the union-backed Employee Free Choice Act which could eliminate secret ballot elections in union organizing drives.  More than seven in ten voters (71%) agree that a federally-supervised secret ballot election is a better approach to union organizing than the card check method.

  • Nearly six in ten (58%) voters favor passing new trade agreements, and 82% agree that it is unfair for foreign countries to impose steep tariffs on U.S. exports while the U.S. market is already open to their imports.
  • On energy nearly seven in ten (67%) voters selected "focusing on market-driven solutions to developing alternative and renewable energy, and increasing drilling."

  • And there is near universal agreement (95%) among voters that the U.S. should upgrade and modernize its infrastructure. 

The full results are available on our election center.
