In chapter 6 there was a section on polling. In it it mentioned a Gallup poll. gallup.com has tons of polls on it, aptly named after Gallup.
An example from the Political Polls section, there is a poll taken on Occupy Wall Street.
It isn't told how many people were asked the questions, or how the answers were obtained, only that the results were based on a October 15-16 USA Today/Gallup poll.
From the results, it can be drawn that of the people that felt they know enough to comment, more approved than disapproved of the goals and how the protests are being conducted. But the percentage that answered is 26% and 10%, respectively, lower than the amount of people that felt they do not know enough to comment.
