It could be slightly lower but its still pretty high. This poll says 74% of likely voters support a prohibition on AI replacing humans for writing TV shows compared to 67% support for the strike overall.
It is a lot lower than the 87% support for "appropriate compensation" for reruns and streaming, but I think that is a much less contentious question than the AI writing prohibition one. By definition practically everyone agrees that they deserve "appropriate" compensation, the debate is over what is appropriate.
