Gallup's respondents seem a lot more plugged-in than Harris's (note Aug. 4
posting below).  Maybe it's just that a good number of Americans spent
summer vacation catching up on their Fed watching.

According to a new Harris poll whose results were just reported by
Bloomberg, only 32% of the U.S. public can identify Alan Greenspan as
the Fed Chairman.  However, they *can* identify the other guy who
controls their lives.  Fully 63% know that Bill Gates is CEO of
Microsoft.
