That sounds like it supports my statement? 74% oppose a specific increase, but only 43% oppose having a minimum wage. (That wording is ambiguous as to whether that's 43% of 100% or 43% of 74%, but both are < 50%)

I suppose it's the language: it would support "accepted by a majority of economists", but I don't think 57% support counts as "pretty widely accepted as a good idea by... most economists".

Which is why I said "most?". I knew I wasn't sure so I communicated that. Sorry if it wasn't obvious enough.

Also all of these sources people are citing are from shadowy "conservative think tanks", got anything with a little less blatantly obvious bias?

epionline.org is especially laughably biased and cherry picked.
