There are ~ 2000 Americans worth $500Million or more.

That is the "0.0005%" Are those the folks you're addressing?

The "1%" is, by an exceedingly large percentage, first gen US wealth. Folks who earn their own way (aka, first gen wealth) are, in my experience, HIGHLY antipathic to socialism.

So your posit is dubious.

A google search shows the latest measure of being a 1%er in the US is approximately a net worth of $5.5 million.

The OP was citing a poll as reported on War Room that said Americans who are considered the 1% (net worth of at least $5.5 million) have a 70% approval of Congress, the MSM and college professors.

Google also shows there are 1.3 million households that would qualify as 1%'ers. The conclusion is obvious, if 70% of the 1% approve of the MSM, Congress and college professors they are as an income/net worth demographic, supporters of the D.C. Uniparty and the current corrupt system.

Below is the Google search results for the number of 1% households.

Net worth is the accurate measure of how much 'extra 'a household has accumulated. ...
Depending on your preference, there are roughly 1,313,064 households in the top one percent.

There are a number of 1%'ers on this board.
They rub elbows with other 1%'ers.
The claim that 70% of 1%'ers support Democrats is bullshite!

In America, the vast majority of 1%'ers are self-made.

I'd guess (conservatively) < 20% of self-made 1%'ers "support Democrats."

However, as the > $500M group accounts for a disproportionate amount of 1% wealth, and a majority or that group supports Dems, statistical skew or manipulation is possible.

E.g. You cited HH net wealth of $5.8M as a Top1% qualification. That is a median-based stat. Going by averages, a HH needs to be worth $38M to be in the Top 1%.

Without access to the poll in question, it can't be disassembled for you.
