It's been about 3-4 years since the government funded bail outs of GM and Chrysler , there was some scrutiny on Mitt Romney's 2008 OP-ED piece. But how to American's feel about them now?
According a recent Gallop poll : 51% of Americans still disapprove of them while 44% agree, it's also a split by party lines. 73% of Republicans oppose and 63% of Democrats support. 50% of independents disapprove while 43% approve.
Meanwhile here are the status numbers :
GM which got $50billion it has paid back $22billion.
GM has been having a good season for now , so has Chrysler ,which is now 58.5% owned by Fiat.
Now it does the disapproval is down but that is with age mostly.
Also according to polls by different areas of the country.
