GIVEN how much sway the Tea Party has among Republicans in Congress and those seeking the Republican presidential nomination, one might think the Tea Party is redefining mainstream American politics. But in fact the Tea Party is increasingly swimming against the tide of public opinion: among most Americans, even before the furor over the debt limit, its brand was becoming toxic. To embrace the Tea Party carries great political risk for Republicans, but perhaps not for the reason you might think. Polls show that disapproval of the Tea Party is climbing. In April 2010, a New York Times/CBS News survey found that 18 percent of Americans had an unfavorable opinion of it, 21 percent had a favorable opinion and 46 percent had not heard enough. Now, 14 months later, Tea Party supporters have slipped to 20 percent, while their opponents have more than doubled, to 40 percent. Of course, politicians of all stripes are not faring well among the public these days. But in data we have recently collected, the Tea Party ranks lower than any of the 23 other groups we asked about — lower than both Republicans and Democrats. It is even less popular than much maligned groups like “atheists” and “Muslims.” Interestingly, one group that approaches it in unpopularity is the Christian Right. Click for Full Text!

But in fact the Tea Party is increasingly swimming against the tide of public opinion "Without data, you're just another person with an opinion." -- Unknown --  The Tea Party fought tooth-and-nail to stop this insane spending spree by the US government. From the chart above, it's clear that Tea Party has the pulse of the American public. You...? You're just another brain-dead socialist, a "useful idiot." But that's ok... even useless idiots like you, get their just rewards, in the end. Let that day come soon, you traitorous bastard.

Posting your own counter evidence would suffice and plus it would give you good practice for that dissertation you state that you will be presenting. Hint.... I doubt one poll would be considered adequate evidence by the committee.
