Polling on the Amazon Unionization Effort and PRO Act

​

Methodology

From April 21 to 25, 2021, Data for Progress conducted a survey of 1,730 likely voters nationally using web panel respondents. The sample was weighted to be representative of likely voters by age, gender, education, race, and voting history. The survey was conducted in English. The margin of error is ±2 percentage points. This survey included an oversample of likely voters in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia.

Slide 4 - 9: National environment

• Favorables of labor unions and Jeff Bezos, reception of Biden’s comments about the unionization effort in Bessemer, Alabama

Slide 10 - 11: PRO Act

• Voters support the PRO Act by a margin of thirty percentage points, this includes majorities in AZ, PA, OH, WV

Slide 14 - 20: Voters Disapprove of Amazon Tactics

• Review tactics Amazon deployed during the unionization campaign, asked likely voters whether they approve or disapprove of them

Slide 22 - 29: Voters support Amazon workers

• Voters would support future Amazon unionization efforts. The favorables of Amazon drop after voters are told about Amazon’s record on labor.

​

Democratic voters start with a slightly higher baseline favorable view of Jeff Bezos and Amazon. This creates interesting partisan throughout the survey and points to potential for the formation of a bipartisan coalition in the electorate to take on Amazon.
