The new CBS/NYT poll has promising numbers for supporters of Occupy Wall Street: 43 percent of those polled say they agree with the views of the movement, while 27 disagree. 30 percent have no opinion. Also, 66% believe that “wealth should be more evenly distributed.”

From the CBS/NYT analysis: “Those most likely to say they agree with the movement include people under age 30, Democrats, liberals and those with more education. But the movement also appeals to significant numbers of other demographic groups: nearly half of moderates, and a similar percentage of independents, say they agree with the movement, as do 43% of those age 30 to 64.”
