BOTH OF WHICH REPRESENT REPUBLICAN OPPORTUNITY:

Poll: Tepid about Occupy Wall St. (TIM MAK, 10/13/11, Politico)

The vast majority of Americans have heard of the "Occupy Wall Street" protests, but less than half have a favorable view about the demonstrations, a new poll shows.

A sky-high 82 percent of those surveyed have heard of the rallies and demonstrations against corporatism and big banks, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll. By comparison, only 54 percent of Americans could name at least one Republican presidential candidate unprompted, according to a Pew Research study from last week.

Only 38 percent of respondents to the Reuters/Ipsos poll said that they felt favorably toward the movement, less than half the number of those who have heard about it.

The more they know about the Occupation and the less they've followed the GOP presidential campaign the better.
