Tea Party support falling in U.S.: poll

WASHINGTON — Support for the conservative Tea Party is slipping across America, even in areas that a year ago swept the movement’s first lawmakers to power in a devastating blow for Democrats, a new poll says.

And in a worrying sign for Republicans ahead of the November 2012 elections, the mainstream party’s image has fallen more dramatically in Tea Party districts than around the country as a whole, the Pew Research Center found in a survey released Tuesday.

The poll, conducted from November 9-14, found that 27 percent of Americans say they disagree with the fledgling Tea Party movement, while only 20 percent agree with its conservative agenda of lower taxes and smaller government.

Those figures have reversed since the November 2010 mid-term elections in which sweeping gains by Republicans and the Tea Party helped them retake control of the House of Representatives.

I knew the Teahadist Party was a flash in the pan because astroturf campaigns have no roots, no principles, and no long-term popular backing. The Kansas Kochroaches were behind the organization from Day One

The brilliant tactics of Occupy Wall Street, the real grassroots populist movement, has exposed the Tea Party as the phony front for undue corporate influence of government it is. The more the TP opens their collective traps, the more they give themselves away as the fakes and/or dupes they are.
