AP-GfK Poll: 37 percent of public back protests

WASHINGTON (AP) — More than one-third of the country supports the Wall Street protests, and even more — 58 percent — say they are furious about America's politics.

The number of angry people is growing as deep reservoirs of resentment grip the country, according to the latest Associated Press-GfK poll.

Some 37 percent of people back the protests that have spread from New York to cities across the country and abroad, one of the first snapshots of how the public views the "Occupy Wall Street" movement. A majority of those protest supporters are Democrats, but the anger about politics in general is much more widespread, the poll indicates.

"Occupy Wall Street" has been called the liberal counterpoint to conservative-libertarian tea party, which injected a huge dose of enthusiasm into the Republican Party and helped it win the House and make gains in the Senate last fall.

While the troubled economy is at the root of anger at both government and business leaders, there's a key difference. Tea party activists generally argue that government is the problem, and they advocate for free markets. The Wall Street protesters generally say that government can provide some solutions and the free market has run amok.

Of the Americans who support the Wall Street protests, 64 percent in the poll are Democrats, while 22 percent are independents and just 14 percent are Republicans. The protest backers are more likely to approve of President Barack Obama and more likely to disapprove of Congress than are people who don't support the demonstrations.

More generally, many more Americans — 58 percent — say they are furious about the country's politics than did in January, when 49 percent said they felt that way. What's more, nearly nine in 10 say they are frustrated with politics and nearly the same say they are disappointed, findings that suggest people are deeply resentful of the political bickering over such basic government responsibilities as passing a federal budget and raising the nation's debt limit.

This wrath spreads across political lines, with about six in 10 Democrats, Republicans and independents saying politics makes them angry.

Fewer are hopeful about politics than when the year began, 47 percent down from 60 percent. Only 17 percent of respondents say they feel proud or inspired.

Since January, Congress and the White House have engaged in repeated standoffs over federal spending and the size of government as the economy has struggled to recover from recession.

In the past month, fury over all that has spilled into New York's financial district, and groups of mostly young people have camped out in a park.

The protesters cite the economic crisis as a key reason for their unhappiness. The unemployment rate hovers around 9 percent nationally. Many homeowners owe more than their homes are worth. Foreclosures are rampant. And many young people — the key demographic of the protesters — can't find jobs or live on their own.

"They all have college educations, and some have advanced degrees, and they're unemployed?" says Alice Dunlap, 63, a retired speech language pathologist from Alexandria, Va. She supports the protests because, she says, anger lingers at those who profited while the nation's economy tanked.

"We all got ripped off by Wall Street, and we continue to be ripped off by Wall Street," she says. "You can look at my portfolio, if you like."

The poll found that most protest supporters do not blame Obama for the economic crisis. Sixty-eight percent say former President George W. Bush deserves "almost all" or "a lot but not all" of the blame. Just 15 percent say Obama deserves that much blame. Nearly six in 10 protest supporters blame Republicans in Congress for the nation's economic problems, and 21 percent blame congressional Democrats.

Six in 10 protest supporters trust Democrats more than Republicans to create jobs.

Most people who support the protests — like most people who don't — actually report good financial situations in their own households.

Still, protest supporters express more intense concern than non-supporters about unemployment at the moment and rising consumer prices in the coming year.

The poll was conducted Oct. 13-17, 2011, by GfK Roper Public Affairs and Corporate Communications. It involved landline and cellphone interviews with 1,000 adults and had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4 percentage points. The poll included 384 respondents who said they were supporters of the Wall Street protests. Among that group, the error margin was 6.5 points.

ok i did find this.i guess its sorta half true.its supposed to pertain to junk dealers that buy scrap metals cuz of the copper thefts and stuff.but this also effects those in the poor class such as myself.myself and 95% of my friends buy and sell junk cars and stuff.i can not say why on an open forum.but i could see it enforced on those who havent gone through the proper channels to become exempt

 

Something that should be understood, that seems to be either being ignored everytime someone says it, or just not understood by some, is that this is not an instant movement.

It took three weeks before wall st was even acknowledged to exist to main stream media, and therefore didn't even exist to most of the people.

I think that was actually a nifty little side effect of them waiting three weeks like that... once they did start showing the general public what was going on. The public got the impression that it all popped up over night. They then seem to take that to mean, that all the occupies should do everything and accomplish everything immediately...

This will not be over this year. This may not be over next year. If you are going to bitch everyday that it isn't over, or enough isn't done... please, save everyone including yourself, a lot of stress and stop reading anything about the occupies...

Because you are going to continue to be unhappy about it.

 

And besides, if you've got a better idea, what are you waiting for?

I know that politically incorrect and all that but the dear Congressman should explain how the deterrent of making a law stick to acting in a speculations market with the finances of citizens can work permanently. Permanently to arrest these people can make the security markets by necessity to be regulated with serious contracts for determined investors: in essence the law preceding the activity of the companies for profit taking. I don't understand. Anybody knows the good companies are the losers and it essentially sinful cunning that makes investors rich in the stock market.:sultan:

 

Occupy Wall Street marched on the Upper West Side late Friday night/early Saturday morning led by folk singers Pete Seeger (92) and Arlo Guthrie (64).

This is livestreaming and it's one of the most epic things I've ever seen!

Sorry, but anyone who believes there's a real difference between Democrats and Republicans are the stupid ones. BOTH are funded by Wall Street, yet many of these protesters are so uninformed and so lacking in facts that they support a Wall Street puppet who speaks out of both sides of his mouth.

Also, how the fuck do you know "from first hand experience" who is and who isn't funding the movement? You think because you've been to a protest you know who's behind it? Please.

See, these protests PARTLY have to do with making Obama look good so he can get re-elected. You see, the focus here is on the "big evil corporations" and "greedy Wall Street fat cats," yet I hear little talk about corporatism, which has to do with the government and corporations existing as ONE SINGLE ENTITY. Why aren't people focusing on the big picture instead of one tiny part of it?

Let's face it, most of the protesters are calling for government solutions without addressing the root of the problems. They want more regulations, yet say nothing about the fact that the regulators are all bought and paid for with Wall Street and corporate money.

It's funny that so many people here can attack what I am saying and lash insults, but nobody can address or refute any of the relevant points I bring up... because they simply don't have the facts to do so.

 

Lol, I'm racking up some dislikes in here. I don't care how many thumbs down I'm given. I'm still going to share news stories in this thread. I'm not intimidated.

 

Piss on 'em. You're doin' fine.

 

I must be doing something right

 

Gee, I wonder who paid for those fancy signs. That had to have cost some money, which OBVIOUSLY had to come from somewhere. Oh yeah, the unions paid for them. Don't you see that that the unions are all controlled by big corporate money and really do nothing to help the little guy as so many believe?

 

Spoken like a true politician -- all empty populist drivel and 0 substance or real facts.

Notice no mention is made anywhere of the privately-owned Federal Reserve or the monetary system, which is why Wall Street can even engage in the corruption they do in the first place. It's because of fractional reserve banking, which this politician spewing his propaganda on Bill Maher would never talk about because he's owned by bankers and does their bidding.
