The polls were in October. Public opinion on OWS has changed pretty quickly.
Furthermore, there's a difference between agreeing with their opinions (and I do agree with some of their opinions, though it's hard to even know what some of their opinions are since they're so poorly organized) and agreeing with their behavior.
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.
The Occupy Wall Street movement is not wearing well with voters across the country. Only 33% now say that they are supportive of its goals, compared to 45% who say they oppose them. That represents an 11 point shift in the wrong direction for the movement's support compared to a month ago when 35% of voters said they supported it and 36% were opposed. Most notably independents have gone from supporting Occupy Wall Street's goals 39/34, to opposing them 34/42.
See what a month of stories of rape, murders, shootings, drug over doses, violence, vandalism and attacking police will do?

The Wall Street-owned corporate media is doing all it can to smear the OWS in order to reverse those numbers, I'll give you that.
Even as Jon Corzine’s MF Global was collapsing, a firm that includes former President Bill Clinton in a senior post was raking in huge fees for public-relations and financial advice from the ill-fated brokerage, The Post has learned.
Clinton’s office insists the former president did not profit from the relationship between MF Global and Teneo Holdings, where he is chairman of the advisory board. But Teneo, on whose advisory board former British Prime Minister Tony Blair also sits, was paid $125,000 a month for at least five months in one of MF’s biggest consulting arrangements, according to sources at the brokerage house.

Other polls, including the two NEWER ones I posted say something different.
Is it really surprising that OWS has crashed burned so quickly, what with all the stories coming to light of the wonderful behavior of this bunch of free loaders?
