Views of the Tea Party movement are at their lowest point ever, with voters for the first time evenly divided when asked to match the views of the average Tea Party member against those of the average member of Congress. Only eight percent (8%) now say they are members of the Tea Party, down from a high of 24% in April 2010 just after passage of the national health care law.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that only 30% of Likely U.S. Voters now have a favorable opinion of the Tea Party. Half (49%) of voters have an unfavorable view of the movement. Twenty-one percent (21%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on January 3-4, 2013 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points...

Not really. But we have a lot of RINOs that ran as “Tea Party” candidates that dropped the masks just recently, having used the movement to give Obama the 2010 “shellacking” in terms of losing the Democrat majority, but certainly not any lack of victory in terms of liberal bipartisanism. The backlash is still pending.
No one is interested in seeing the inside of room 101!
Tea Party folks in my general vicinity, started getting the “Are you, or aren’t you, born-again?” classification, as part of being officially listed, as a “full member”.
I agree with the Tea Party —political views—, but having to declare my personal religious philosophy before the crowd, I felt that I was at an AA meeting! “Ain’t none of yo’ bizness!”
People don’t like to be on the losing team, and we got kicked in the teeth in November. Numbers will rebound before long.

The GOP RINOs need to keep their fingers out of the Tea Party and stop co-opting it.
Hmmm ...
Any joker calling the House of Bustard trying to take a survey gets: “PleaseremovemefromyourtelephonelistThankyouverymuchGoodbye < click>”
Media deamonization has scared away many “partiers”, but they’re still out there. The feckless GOP-e doesn’t help.
I like the Tea Party movement but at this point in time, I am prepping (ammo-food etc,) for the coming economic collapse( it IS coming) rather than being political active.
Hell in the USA is about to unleashed and I do not think any political entity can stop this from occurring....and other tea Party member’s may also be preparing..
JMO...
I’m not a TEA Party member because they’re too liberal for me.
Years of propaganda and lies about the Tea Party will do this.
According to Ratsmussen, Romney should be sitting in the White House now.
So much for Rasmussen surveys
Hear, hear!
Many of ua now call ourselves Independents after the betrayal by the RINO leadership.
Besides, the media ian’t going to be able to attack their precious indies.
I did not realize a person had to join the Tea Party. We just show up when needed!
You’re wise to prep... I sure am.
Wow- almost 1 in 10 people claim to be TEA party supporters?
Thats pretty darn good.
But I see the communist agitprop spinning it according to the will of their masters in the White House
Imagine that map if PA had the guts to pass a proportional EV in 2016
I think we've got about three (3) months left. Maybe late March, early April at best - unless some major cuts take place, but I don't see Oboma doing what has to be done (he's too narcissistic to cave, and he's got a very secure bunker for him and his family already prepared)
