A plurality of voters are more likely than not to view the following unfavorably: The Republican Party (44 percent), the Democratic Party (44 percent), the tea party (40 percent), and Occupy Wall Street (39 percent).
Nationally, Republican leaders are calling for changes and cuts to entitlement programs and are refusing to budge on increasing taxes.
But even modest changes to benefits for future retirees are opposed by 66 percent of GOP voters, the poll shows. Only 27 percent favor future reductions, which could include raising the retirement age, though the poll didn't specifically address that issue.
Asked if they favored or opposed reducing Medicare benefits to help reduce the deficit, only 22 percent liked the idea. About 70 percent didn't.
When given predetermined choices to cut the deficit, most voters wanted to "eliminate tax loopholes" (40 percent), cut foreign aid (34 percent) or reduce involvement in foreign wars (18 percent).
.........
When specifically asked if they favored Medicare cuts over withdrawing troops from Iraq and Afghanistan, only 9 percent wanted the former and 66 percent favored the latter. The numbers were similar for Social Security.

What I found funny was the OWS was viewed more favorably than the others.
