Sixty-one percent of Americans oppose strictly limiting collective bargaining rights, according to a new USA Today/Gallup poll.

A third of Americans back restricting public union membersโ€™ bargaining abilities. The poll also found that 53 percent are against cutting government employeesโ€™ salaries and benefits.

But Americans donโ€™t want to pay more taxes to help fund those salaries either: 71 percent oppose any new sale or income taxes.
