WGA has handled the strike — and disapprove of the studios’ response — according to an exclusive new survey from Variety Intelligence Platform in conjunction with insights firm YouGov. Most entertainment-industry professionals (57%) approve of the Writers Guild of America’s handling, versus just 9% who approve of the way studios have, per an online poll conducted May 10-11 among 540 U.S. adults working in show business. These latest results are an update to our previous survey fielded in March, when the strike was still weeks away from starting on May 1. Both surveys follow the VIP+ deep-dive special report “Time to Strike?” on the negotiations that led up to the walkout.
