I'm not saying that being an active union member makes you totally leftist, but it's clear from these polls that the mood of the halls is different from the mood of the general membership in some measurable way.

Like where I'm at, the Teamsters and IBEW share their halls with DSA, PSL, and SRA. The average member of those unions is pretty centrist, but the leadership and active membership is very leftist.

These polls don't say anything about the mood because the candidates to vote for are different

That's fair, I was just ignoring the candidates and instead looking at it as Red/Blue/Neutral thinking the method of the poll was getting a different subset of the membership and not thinking that the actual candidates were effecting anything.
