Harvard: Two Thirds of Young Voters Ignoring Occupy Movement


According to a recent Harvard Poll, the majority of young voters do not support the “Occupy Wall Street” movement.

An overwhelming 66% of young voters say they are not following the recent uproar of protests, and a mere 33% say that they do. With approximately 21% who are supportive, it is obvious the left has made this movement much bigger than it really is.

...

So sad for Nads.

And if a place like Harvard can't get more than 1/3 of young adults to pull for it, you know that about 1/3 of 1 percent in flyover country even remotely give a shit about it.

Harvard had their own OWS "chapter", but they were only allowing students and alumni to participate.

Seriously.

I think only 21% of the 33% who were following it were actually pulling for it.
