Despite nonstop GOP and conservative disparagement of the Wall Street protests, the most detailed polling yet on Occupy Wall Street suggests that the public holds a broadly favorable view of the movement — and, crucially, the positions it holds.
Time released a new poll this morning finding that 54 percent view the Wall Street protests favorably, versus only 23 percent who think the opposite. Interestingly, only 23 percent say they don’t have an opinion, suggesting the protests have succeeded in punching through to the mainstream. Also: The most populist positions espoused by Occupy Wall Street — that the gap between rich and poor has grown too large; that taxes should be raised on the rich; that execs responsible for the meltdown should be prosecuted — all have strong support.

this statement is coming from the WASHINGTON POST - the 2nd most liberal paper behind the NY Times - oh and Obama leeches as well. No surprise. The liberals think this will resonate with voters. hey college kids on cell phones, we have seen you with your gadgets, your pictures are everywhere, you do not impress and your "STand" is a sham. go home and work to find a job or MAKE a job
always consider the source of ANY poll or study.
The two aren't even comparable. Tea party is a political action group which operates within the law and with excellent organization. The Wall Street people are just folks who have been duped by the white house into believing CLASS WARFARE will solve their problems and bring our contry closer to socialism. All you have to do is listen to what they aresaying and you know they have no direction other than disrupting our economy even farther by acting in such an ignorant and misinformed way.
Laughable the last election told us what the voters wanted.
