New Gallup Poll: Tea Party Less Popular than Russia, Communist China

There’s not many surprises in the new Gallup poll about the Tea Party.

The poll found that, surprise!, 70% of Teabaggers are conservatives, which means the 43% of the movement’s so-called “independents” are white men voters who pull the lever for the GOP, but don’t want to call themselves Republicans after George W. Bush’s pooch-screwing and with the cast of clowns currently running the party.

What’s interesting, however, is that only 37% of Americans view Teabaggery favorably.

Translation: the Teabaggers are really unpopular.

By comparison, President Obama’s favorability number is nearly 20 points higher at 55% — while Russia and China come in at 47% and 42% respectively.

The good news for the Teabaggers is they are still slightly more popular than Saudi Arabia (35%) and the Quitter (36.8%).

4. They might want to canonize him...St Tim

[YOY]

n.t.

7. Well put!

[d_r]

2. there's always that 30%

[spanone]

3. the media will refuse to believe this and continue to treat them as a legitimate grassroots org.

i fear the loss of our media more than the ignorant baggers

[YOY]

5. "70% of Teabaggers are conservatives"

More like "admitted conservatives"...the rest are either so called independents who always vote conservative or mentally disabled.

Sure as fuck no liberals there...no matter what certain people here insinuate.

9. Liberal but somehow significantly to the right of Republicans is insane bullshit

I noticed they are spinning (yes, even MSNBC) the self identified Democrats as liberals. There might be some Democrats by registration only that generally vote puke but as most of us know (D) ain't necessarily liberal by any stretch.

They got some of the vestigial racists and douchbags and try to play them off as disaffected liberals.

[YOY]

10. The last of the Dixicrats? The only possible chance of truth in the statement.

Because if I went there...I'd probably end pissing myself with laughter at the duds.

8. Well, they should rally their troops and threaten Gallup with bodily harm, post haste.

:sarcasm:

11. To be fair part of it might be that coffee is more popular than tea.

I am only partially joking. Some of the people polled probably have no idea what the tea party is, they probably think it does have something to do with drinking tea. It is not possible to underestimate the knowledge of the American Public.
