Rasmussen Poll Shows Americans Favor Tea Partiers Over Congress
Despite the left and mainstream media’s attempts to marginalize the tea partiers, I believe you’re going to see more and more polls like Rasmussen’s from earlier this week that showed 52% of Americans think tea partiers have a better grasp of issues vs. 30% that think Congress does. Here’s another interesting stat from the poll: 47% of Americans think their political views are closer to the tea partiers, vs. only 26% identifying with Congress’s political views.
If you keep reading the poll, the overwhelming majority of mainstream Americans identify with tea partiers more than with the political class. This is exactly what I’ve been saying as I do radio and press interviews: the tea partiers are not fringe. They are mainstream and first adopters of the great American populace; the majority of Americans identify strongly with the tea party ideals of limited government and fiscal responsibility, and that is what the tea partiers are about. It is the political class that is outside the mainstream of America.
