Occupy Wall Street “comprises an unrepresentative segment of the electorate"

The Occupy Wall Street movement provides a clear example. As media outlets attribute the protests to angry unemployed youth, Democratic pollster Doug Schoen told The Wall Street Journal in October that the protesters “have a distinct ideology and are bound by a deep commitment to radical left-wing policies.”

Schoen and his team polled protesters in Zuccotti park, concluding that the movement “comprises an unrepresentative segment of the electorate that believes in radical redistribution of wealth, civil disobedience and, in some instances, violence.”

Despite this loud minority, though, most young voters believe lowering business taxes creates jobs, and that businesses are able to grow with less government interference, Conway insisted.

Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”

Rapists, psychopaths, and head lice are definitely over-represented at the protests when looking at the broader American populace.  But as a subgroup of liberal democrats, I think the OWS crowd is pretty representative.
