LOS ANGELES (AP) — 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.
Half of Americans (50%) approve of writers and actors striking, while 40% are neutral on the topic, and 9% disapprove.
About six in 10 Americans have heard “a lot” or “some” about the labor strikes of writers and actors against Hollywood studios.
Overall sympathy toward the writers and actors runs much more strongly among Democrats (70%), than Independents (47%) and Republicans (39%).
Alternatively, only 10% say it would be good for studios to use AI to help write movies and TV shows.
