re: 70% of wealthy Americans approve of the MSM, Congress and university professors.

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.

I would venture to guess, a poll purporting to pinpoint "the 1%" is likely skewing toward the more conspicuous segment of that group, as I'm not sure how they are otherwise determining who is who in their methodology, which could tend to skew it away from the ACTUAL views of such a group.

Just a possible hypothesis. I have nothing to otherwise suggest or be able to say that they aren't just about right on the money with what they are saying here, though.
