Not a shocker. Americans support Occupy Wall Street 2-1 over Tea Party.

That’s news to most news organizations, which have virtually ignored OWS while kowtowing to the Tea Party.

A new Time magazine poll asked respondents for their opinion of “the Tea Party movement.” Just 27% had a favorable opinion. 

Then the poll asked about OWS: 

“[I]n the past few days, a group of protestors has been gathering on Wall Street in New York City and some other cities to protest money in our political system. Is your opinion of these protests very favorable, somewhat favorable, somewhat unfavorable, very unfavorable, or don’t you know enough about the protests to have an opinion?” 

A combined 54% had a favorable impression — exactly double that of the Tea Party.
