Washington - Xinhua
Vast majority of Americans are dissatisfied with the Wall Street, though split on how they feel about the widespread Occupy Wall Street movement, a new national poll showed Monday.
Eight in 10 of those surveyed say Wall Street bankers are greedy, 77 percent say they\'re overpaid, and two-thirds say they are dishonest, according to the CNN/ORC International poll.
The survey also suggested a deterioration of the public opinion toward the nation\'s financial center. In the 1990s, only 30 percent of the country said they had no trust at all in Wall Street to do what is best for the economy, 24 percentage points lower than now, it showed.
However, Americans\' anger with the financial sector did not translate into support for the Occupy Wall Street protests, a movement which was initiated in mid-September in New York City and rapidly spread to elsewhere across the country and even overseas.
Four in 10 say they don\'t have an opinion about the protests, the survey showed. Among those who have an opinion, 32 percent say they have a favorable view of the movement, while 29 percent say they have an unfavorable view.
