Contributing sentiments towards policy:

36% : While Trump has wrapped all three of his presidential campaigns in populist rhetoric, his administration largely sided with corporate management in its battles against workers and unions over pay, benefits and labor conditions.
27% : From the White House, Trump consistently opposed legislation that would meet the demands of union workers, such as raising the minimum wage, and slashed existing benefits for struggling Americans.
26% : Much of Trump's policies, and efforts to reverse those of previous administrations, went through the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), which Trump stacked with appointees who had previously served in white-shoe law firms that consistently represented large corporations.
24% : But for Trump, putting the spotlight on McDonald's also risks drawing attention to some more damaging pieces of his record, including a concerted effort by his administration to squash a push by McDonald's workers to raise their wages while also making it harder for them to seek accountability for legal violations.
22% : While Trump will be joining McDonald's workers behind the counter this Sunday "to see how it is," he will not be experiencing what it's like to live on McDonald's wages.
