You mean the people that earn between $20k and $100k?
Most are still here.
There are an extra 5 million that are unemployed putting them in the
poverty category.
Unfortunately it will be two more years before we can fix that.

Why does it matter what people think. I'm pretty sure most have no
idea and just took wild guesses.

Maybe the problem is people thing there are a lot more rich folks around them.

This is a great bit of data visualization. It tracks quintiles (top
