The One Worlders have their thousands; the Patriot Nation has its ten thousands.

PEW authors, proving themselves to be "Left leaning," have this to say about their own chart:  

11 January 2012 The Occupy Wall Street movement no longer occupies Wall Street, but the issue of class conflict has captured a growing share of the national consciousness. A new Pew Research Center survey finds that two-thirds of the public believes there are "very strong" or "strong" conflicts between the rich and the poor -- an increase of 19 percentage points since 2009.

And, with that statement, PEW attributes the growing impression of disparity between the so-called "rich" and the so-called "poor" to the clowns in the Occupy "Let's Vandalize the World" Movement,  as if 4,000 misfits,  hobos and college party types have had something significant to say over the course of the past year.  Understand that if you are a Democrat,  your party is all about fooling people into believing they, the One Worlders in the Democrat Party,  have public opinion and population on their side.  

This chart will be misused from the get-go.  The press will say, "The divide between the rich and the poor continues to grow" implying that something needs to be done . . . . . . . . the fact of the chart be damned.  And what is that fact?  The chart measures only perceptions.  Take a second look at the words immediately above the chart:  "Percent who say there are 'very strong' or 'strong' conflicts between . . . . ."  Say it again:  this is a chart that quantifies the impression of a growing divide.  

What has increased by 19%?  The number of people who say there is a growing divide.  That’s it.  Perception over reality; symbol over substance. 

But, the actual point of the survey aside,  the really troubling aspect is the illusion that Occupy has something to do with this impression,  when,  in fact,  is it the One Worlders in our collectivist media that are driving the illusion.  This will be a growing theme as the election cycle continues its course.  

Understand, the conservatives had their million man meetings in '09 and '10.  The Libs decided they had to come up with some sort of societal equivalency and that wound up being  the 4,000 member Occupy “Let’s Vandalize Everything” Movement. 

NBC “News” frequently tells the world,  “Occupy has changed the course of the debate in America”  when,  in fact,  the TEA party conservative movement,  20 million strong,  has won elections,  sent 84 new congressmen to Washington,  and are continuing to drive the real debate. 

Point of post:  the Left,  without success in this world, busies  itself with making up a record of success,  and they hope to win an election based on this nonsense.
