Actually no, Raghu. If you look more closely at the third chart, you’ll note 
that only 35% of “independents”, together with a mere 18% of Republicans “want 
unions to have more influence”. Among Democrats, that percentage rises to 55%, 
no great shakes, but at least still a majority. According to the poll, 
independents still narrowly “approve” of unions (52%), unlike most Republicans.
