Californians evenly split on Occupy movement


This article relates to income inequality. The movement centers on concerns about income disparity between the richest -- the country's 1 percent -- and everyone else, or the 99 percent. The poll found 46 percent of California's voting public identifies a lot or some with the Occupy movement, while 49 percent declare not much identification with it. But while voters are closely divided in their identification with the movement, a 58 percent to 32 percent majority say they agree with the protests' underlying reason while the remaining 10 percent expressed no opinion. The pollsters didn't provide those it surveyed with a description of that reason. It is interesting to see how many people think a different political party can change the existing economy and who is to blame for this poor economy.
