Most Americans Believe Bankers Are Greedy, Dishonest — But Tea Partiers Are Most Supportive

The poll, conducted from October 14-16, also finds that those who identify as supporters of the tea party have a more favorable opinion of Wall Street bankers and brokers than those with neutral or negative opinions of the movement.
