Anonymous Coward User ID: 1652971 United States 11/13/2011 12:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.cbsnews.com] Forty-three percent of Americans agree with the views of the "Occupy Wall Street" movement, according to a new CBS News/New York Times poll that found a widespread belief that money and wealth should be distributed more evenly in America. Twenty-seven percent of Americans said they disagree with the movement, which began more than a month ago in lower Manhattan and has since spread across the country and around the world. Thirty percent said they were unsure. Riot police arrest "Occupy Oakland" protesters Young and left-leaning Americans were more likely to agree with the movement than were their older and more conservative counterparts. Half of Americans ages 18-29 say they agree with the movement; just one in three Americans age 65 or older say the same. And two thirds of liberals say they agree with "Occupy Wall Street" compared with just one in four conservatives. Americans with at least some college education are more likely to agree with the movement than those with less education. Nearly half of those with at least some college education say they agree with "Occupy Wall Street"; among those who did not attend college, that figure drops to 37 percent. Seven in ten Americans say they have heard or read at least something about "Occupy Wall Street." |

Thread: Are you Anti-OWS or Pro-OWS? Looks like the smear campaign didn't work here. Nice try though. |

Read the article, 43% agree and 30% responded with don't know. This poll was conducted among a random sample of 1,650 adults nationwide, interviewed by telephone October 19-24, 2011. Phone numbers were dialed from random digit dial samples of both standard land-line and cell phones. The error due to sampling for results based on the entire sample could be plus or minus three percentage points. The error for subgroups is higher. An oversample was conducted for this survey which will be analyzed in a future poll release. But to be honest I am glad that unlike the vast majority of US visitors on this site there are some decent folk in the US. Regardless of how you look at it the income disparity in the US is currently bigger then Brazil. That really is hardly sustainable... [link to en.wikipedia.org] |

Unfortunately, since real conservatives didn't take the time to educate those individuals protesting - especially in regards to natural rights and our constitution - and instead chose to denigrate and mock them the movement will end up being for real change in the wrong way. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1426506 You're confused as to what those numbers are saying. They most certainly are REPRESENTING the 99%, those numbers are the people who agree or diasagree with the movement, doesn't mean they aren't part of the 99% Even if you disagree, you're still part of the 99% which they do in fact represent. Nice try retard. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1454475 United States 11/22/2011 01:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OWS is attempting to crash our financial systems, the banks and Wall St. with no viable plan whatsoever in place to deal with the resulting chaos and suffering. That is the height of irresponsibility and has transcended from simple protest into a form of domestic financial terrorism. I'm sure if you took a poll of how many Americans agree with bringing down the country's financial system very few would approve. |
