Hi, please help me.

"An NHK opinion poll shows that the approval rate for the cabinet of Prime Minister Naoto Kan has dropped to 25 percent, with more than twice as many respondents unhappy with the cabinet as are happy."

Is the "are" necessary?
  

Top answer

No, the "are" isn't essential. I see why the person wrote it, for clarity, but it is fairly clear without it.
