Sam Stein of Huffington Post has the latest Gallup Poll, which shows strong bipartisan support for the Employee Free Choice Act in the American public.

Gallup Surveys released a study on Tuesday finding that 53 percent of respondents favored a new law that would “make it easier for labor unions to organize workers.” Only 39 percent of respondents opposed such a law.

When asked how important it was that Congress pass such a law, 26 percent of respondents said “very,” 29 percent said “somewhat,” 23 percent said “not too important,” and 20 percent said “not important at all.”

Added up, the findings provide a solid boost to EFCA backers, with 55 percent expressing some desire to see Congress act on the legislation and 43 percent expressing a level of opposition or ambivalence (three percent said they had no opinion).

Hopefully this sort of strong support will be an impetus for legislators in Congress to drive forward with this popular legislation.
