In October, it hit a record high above 25%, exceeding its May 2011 25% and earlier June 1980 22% peaks. Given current conditions absent policy measures to improve them, analysts see it going higher.

Yet, on October 18, Obama outrageously told ABC News he supports OWS protesters, saying:

"The most important thing we can do right now (is) letting people know that we understand their struggles and we are on their side...."

For nearly three years, he systematically waged war on working Americans, targeted organized labor for destruction, and focused solely serving wealth and power. 

That's his legacy of shame. Polls show OWS protesters know it. Some people can be fooled some of the time, others all of it.

However, Fordham University Professor Costas Panagopoulos surveyed New York protesters and found three-fourths angry about Obama's performance.

His research's only surprise is that all of them don't condemn his fealty to Wall Street and other corporate favorites at their expense. 

Give it time. Perhaps later nationwide OWS surveys will show practically no one supports him. Why should they when he spurns them on all issues mattering most.
