Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and Democratic Governors Association tried to purchase joint ads on abortion and guns with Hulu on July 15, along with identical placements on a Disney-affiliated ABC affiliate in Philadelphia and the company's cable sports channel ESPN.
39% : Disney faced a separate employee backlash earlier this year after corporate leaders declined to make a public statement opposing a Republican bill in Florida that prohibited teachers from discussing sexual orientation or gender identity with younger students.
38% : The ad in question mentioned Republican successes around abortion, climate change, and gun violence, while also showing footage of the violence from the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.
37% : "Voters have the right to know the facts about MAGA Republicans' agenda on issues like abortion -- and Hulu is doing a huge disservice to the American people by blocking voters from learning the truth about the GOP record or denying these issues from even being discussed."
36% : The party committees join a growing list of Democratic candidates who have had spots mentioning gun violence, abortion, or political violence rejected by Hulu.
35% : The other warns that Republicans are trying to "rip away" access to abortion without exceptions for rape, incest or the lives of those who are pregnant.
