If you mean people who strongly agree with their goals, insofar as they have them, they are probably more like 25%. If you mean people who vaguely agree, more like 60%. Time sez: 54% favourables for the Occupy Wall Street movement. 99% is, of course, dreaming. But it's closer than 1%.I meant the ones out on the streets (1% is a big stretch even), and not those sitting at home cheering for the potpourri of causes "make rich people pay, tax the banks, wall street is a bunch of big fat meanies, bailouts for main street, legalize pot now, give unions more money, gay marriage now, down with corporations, look a purple turtle...".
According to nationwide Occupy everything organizers, the estimated Facebook + other maybe exceeds 1.2 million. That is still not breaking the 3 million (1%) threshold.
