LAST week, Steve Kornacki of Salon tried to reconcile two
seemingly contradictory polls tracking public support of the Occupy Wall Street
movement. A Quinnipiac University poll shows a public swiftly souring on OWS:
"By a 39 - 30 percent margin, American voters have an unfavorable opinion
of the Occupy Wall Street movement, with 30 percent who don't know enough about
it for an opinion." OWS remains for now less unliked than the tea-party
movement, though one should keep in mind that it took the tea partiers a good
while to achieve this sort of unpopularity.
