Topic: Tea Party Approval Seems To Be Going Wrong Direction. | |
---|---|
In the most recent poll, most Americans took a negative view of the debt-ceiling negotiations, seeing them as “mostly about gaining political advantage.” With Republicans in charge of the House, more of the blame fell on them. And many people — a 43 percent plurality — saw the Tea Party as having too much influence on Republicans.
Perhaps not surprisingly, Democrats were most likely to have an unfavorable view of the Tea Party. But a plurality of independents, too — 40 percent — viewed the Tea Party negatively, and said it had too much influence on the Republican Party. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/05/us/politics/05teaparty.html People aren't as stupid as you might think when they start paying attention. |

Doesn't that mean 60% don't see them negatively? http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president_obama_job_approval-1044.html Anyway they have a better approval rating than the president. Not like any political party ever has very high approval ratings though. |

The tea party isn't up for re election in 2012. Obamas approval rating is 39% and his performance on the economy has everyone just so confident about our prospects going forward. Lowest consumer confidence since... ahem.. Carter.. how ironic. |

And gallup has Obama's approval rating on the economy in the 20's.
Maybe he should take a lesson from the tea party, they seem to be doing a better jib than him in America's eyes. |

Obamas approval rating is 39%
And guess who has even much lower approval rating - the Tea-Party led Congress. I wonder if Tea-baggers are feeling as beloved and admired as they were a year ago. |

could happen, but the trends aren't good. As the article says, "Little more than a year ago, most Americans did not know enough about the Tea Party to have an opinion. Now, more people have opinions, and they are hardly positive." The more people know . . .
