I was looking at the polls internals and it looks like a poll designed specifically to deflate TP numbers but that is not a surprise. NY Times and lib papers do this all the time. It is true that those who consider themselves active TP are about 20% this has remained steady. The problem when you ask things like ‘Do you support the Tea Party?’ many people conflate this as a money question. Even in this NYtimes polls a huge chunk either didn’t know enough or are undecided about the Tea Party ‘39%’ which Sargent fails to point out. Rasmussen is much better at polling questions designed to really find out the mood. Here’s an older poll.
I think it should be standard for these polling organizatiosn to release a geographic distribution map of their polls. That would make analysis of these things much easier. It is interesting that 44% of respondents even in this left leaning poll said the spending cuts didn’t go far enough. Only 15% say they went too far. The rest I believe are idiots who at 29% say just right or don’t know.
Actually, the international banksters and Chi-coms wanted two things from Obama economicially: Massive tax increases on wage earners and a socialized medical system. Limo liberal CEO’s don’t want to pay for health insurance benefits and they want us to pay for a socialized medical system with massive tax increases.
Yeah, Tea Partiers are changing their minds in droves!! They want more taxes. Please, Congress! Raise taxes NOW!!
Who believes this drivel???
