Hollywood actor and writer strikes have broad support among Americans, AP-NORC poll shows
Associated PressLOS ANGELES — Public support for striking Hollywood actors and writers is broad, but not necessarily deep enough for most people to change their viewing habits, a new poll finds. A majority of U.S. adults sympathize with the writers and actors in the months-long dispute than with the studios they’re striking against, the poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows. “I don’t go to movies anymore.” The poll was conducted September 7-11, as the Hollywood protests over pay and work protections stretched into their fifth month for writers and third month for actors. Americans under 45 years old are more likely than those 45 and older to say it would be good for studios to be prevented from replacing human writers with artificial intelligence.
