New Poll: Most Americans Agree With OWS
 
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/...141203055.html
Quote:

Substantially more Americans agree than disagree with the goals of the Occupy Wall Street movement, according to a new poll. And nearly two-thirds say wealth should be distributed more equitably.

Forty-three percent of respondents to a new CBS/New York Times survey said they agree with Occupy Wall Street's goals, while, 27 percent said they disagree. Thirty percent were unsure.

Math must not be your strong point.

More Americans agree with OWS as oppose it with a large chunk undecided. I think if they were to see the video and read the text the OWS have issued about what they want then the undecided figure would move over to the agree.

When did 43% become a majority?

43% agree
27% disagree
30% don't know, which negates that percentage. we could be fair and say that 15% of these people actually agree and 15% don't agree but then again we are back where we started eh?

If 43% agree and 27% disagree....well let's break it down for you.

43
-27
____

16

So, 16% more agree with the OWS movement than disagree, thus the majority who agree is larger than the minority who disagree.

51% would be most
43 < 51

Well, "failed" makes sense as an alias I guess. The ONLY way the title of the post would be correct would be if it said "New Poll: More Americans Agree With OWS"

43% will never be "most."

I didn't say "most", I quoted your post that said "majority." I'll give you my password, you can borrow my nick for the day, you've earned it!

and as i said being more than fair if 15% of those undecided were for OWS then 43 + 15 = 58%.

heck, if only 8% of those undecided 30% were for OWS it would give you your 51%.

but the reality is that if you don't have an opinion you don't count it, so 43% would be the majority in this poll.

BFT3K 10-26-2011 10:50 AM

Don't worry, the OWS movement will only grow, as will its approval.

The fact that there is no distinction is why OWS exists.:2 cents:

No, the OWS exists because they are unable to at least take partial blame for their stupidity because it would indicate they have some character flaws, so they must blame somebody else.

Oh, so your tactic is to change the subject in the middle of the conversation? What was the topic of this thread again? Oh yeah, New Poll: Most Americans Agree With OWS

A "majority of the people that took the poll" does not equal "most Americans."

This poll was conducted among a random sample of 1,650 adults nationwide, interviewed by telephone October 19-24, 2011. Phone numbers were dialed from random digit dial samples of both standard land-line and cell phones. The error due to sampling for results based on the entire sample could be plus or minus three percentage points. The error for subgroups is higher. An oversample was conducted for this survey which will be analyzed in a future poll release.
Did not know 1,650 adults represented the majority of Americans. But hey, when you desperately want your idiotic agenda to work, you've got to rationalize.

BFT3K 10-26-2011 11:22 AM

Somebody should make a GFY poll on this, just for fun.

If I start it people will say it is already slanted, so someone else should do it.

I apologize. I understand that today's educational system has let today's youth down, especially when it comes to logic.

You're kidding right? No matter who does it, the opposing side will claim "BIAS" almost instantly.

:1orglaugh off your meds? it is just a poll, never said it was anything else.
just so you know-
Poll: a sampling or collection of opinions on a subject, taken from either a selected or a random group of persons, as for the purpose of analysis.

I don't need to whine to yahoo news. Your thread said "most Americans". When I destroyed your idiotic logic by proving that a poll is an unrepresentative sample, you backpeddle by claiming "it was just an opinion", which ignores the initial assertion that your thread title is misleading, or you make a last gasp post like this one. Either way, game, set and match.:1orglaugh

They must have changed their headline after you started this thread. It currently says, "Poll: More agree than disagree with Occupy Wall Street goals," not "New Poll: Most Americans Agree With OWS."
