Schoen and Patrick H. Caddell, November 14, 2010〕 Schoen has been critical of the Occupy Wall Street protest movement. In a ''Wall Street Journal'' op-ed, he wrote, "President Obama and the Democratic leadership are making a critical error in embracing the Occupy Wall Street movement—and it may cost them the 2012 election."〔〔(Polling the Occupy Wall Street Crowd: In interviews, protesters show that they are leftists out of step with most American voters. Yet Democrats are embracing them anyway. ) By DOUGLAS SCHOEN, Wall Street Journal, October 18, 2011〕 He believes that the protesters represent "an unrepresentative segment of the electorate that believes in radical redistribution of wealth, civil disobedience and, in some instances, violence," and that their common bond is "a deep commitment to left-wing policies."〔〔 Schoen believes that the Democratic Party should not appeal to voters who support taxing oil companies and the rich, but rather to voters in the middle who want lower taxes.〔〔(Survey: Many Occupy Wall Street protesters are unhappy Democrats who want more influence ), By Azi Paybarah, Capital New York, October 18, 2011〕〔(Doug Schoen Grossly Misrepresents His Own Poll Results To Smear Occupy Wall Street ) By Judd Legum, Think Progress,Oct 18, 2011〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Douglas Schoen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
