A majority of union workers intend to vote for President Barack Obama but presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney claims the support of about one-third of the coalition that has long been aligned with the Democratic Party, according to a poll released Monday.
The latest survey from Gallup shows that 57 percent of union workers say they will support Obama in the 2012 presidential race, while 35 percent say they will vote for Romney. Romney, the former Massachusetts governor and private equity firm executive, holds a slight edge over Obama among non-union workers, 48 percent to 44 percent.
