New data from Gallup shows that a majority of Americans don’t have a fully formed opinion on the Ocuppy Wall Street. 53 percent say their neither support or oppose the movement, while a quarter of Americans agree with the goals of OWS.

From Gallup:

Americans’ views about the Occupy Wall Street movement have changed little since mid-October, with most Americans taking a neutral stance toward it. This may be partly because barely half are following news of the protests closely and, accordingly, half or more say they don’t know enough about the movement to have an opinion about its goals or methods….Within the Democratic Party, Occupy Wall Street supporters far outnumber opponents, but close to half of Democrats say they are neither. Republicans are more likely to be opponents than supporters, but even though a solid majority of Republicans disapprove of the way the protests are being conducted, more than half take a neutral stance toward the movement generally.
