Poll: ‘Occupy’ Movement Fails To Capture Americans’ Interest


A new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll shows that the “Occupy” movement has failed to capture the attention of a majority of Americans, indicating either ambivalence toward it or lack of interest.

The poll finds that 56% of Americans surveyed are neither supporters nor opponents and 59% say they don’t know enough to have an opinion about the movement’s goals.

The survey, however, does show an increase from 20% to 31% in disapproval of the way the protests are being conducted.

Results are based on phone interviews Saturday and Sunday on the Gallup Daily tracking survey, with a random sample of 996 adults, ages 18 or over, living in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, chosen using random-digit dial sampling.

The margin of error is ±4 percentage points.

  1. The movement is not yet three months old…It took nearly four years, from from late 1965 until mid-1969, for a majority of Americans to support the anti-Vietnam War movement.
