It's 33%, Not 99%

Public Policy Polling, a Democrat polling outfit, sadly reports that only 33% approve of the Occupy Wall Street movement. So the slogan that OWS represents 99% of us is exaggerated by a factor of three. It just isn't so.

PPP is relatively honest; they report that the Tea Party movement is now more popular than OWS, a reversal of last month's numbers. As hard as they try to spin these findings to favor Democrats, their spin just doesn't work.

Some Boomers can't forget their glory days in the 1960s anti-war movement. However, crowds of dirty people loudly doing nasty things in public parks is unpopular with most of us today, and was then, too.
