The PRO Act would overhaul existing labor law and expand workers’ rights to form a union, so that more workers could collectively bargain for better wages and working conditions.

After hearing a brief summary of the bill, likely voters supported it 53% to 37%.

We then asked likely voters about 13 labor reforms included in the PRO Act. Pluralities supported 12 of the 13.

By a ~40-point margin, voters backed provisions to reinstate illegally fired workers, block immigration status discrimination, & prevent worker misclassification.

Support for the #PROAct jumped after voters learned about its specific provisions.

The margin-of-support from likely voters increased from 16% to 29%.

Support from Democrats climbed to 78%, but 3 Senate Democrats—@SenatorSinema, @SenMarkKelly & @MarkWarner—have yet to sign on.

We also asked voters about the For the People Act, a landmark voting rights bill that was also passed by the House of Representatives.

When first asked about the bill, 59% of likely voters supported #HR1 and just 27% opposed it.

We asked about 13 provisions of the #ForThePeopleAct. All 13 won plurality support & 11 had majority support.

The most popular elements:
- voting machine paper trails (60-pt margin of support)
- dark money groups must reveal donors (55-pt)
- Election Day federal holiday (45-pt)

Support for the For the People Act climbed considerably once voters learned about its specific provisions.

The margin of support from independent and third party voters jumped nearly 10 points—from 30 to 38.

Overall opposition from Republicans halved, from 13 points to
just 5.
