Gallup: Tea party negative ratings at record high

Gallup polling released new survey results on Friday, showing that negative opinions of the so-called tea party movement have risen sharply in the US. Independent voters have turned away from the conservative group.

The poll shows that only a core constituency of Republicans and conservatives now view the fledgling political movement positively.

The organization began tracking the tea party just over a year ago in March of 2010. At that time, the ultra conservative group had a 37% favorable and 40% unfavorable rating.

Those numbers stayed flat until January of this year when the first round of tea party supporting legislators were sworn in to the U.S. Congress.

4. I thought we didn't like Gallup?

:shrug:

5. We don't...but if Gallup can't even hide it, the Tea Baggers are fucked.

I think that's the point. Gallup will spin a marginal race, but there is nothing marginal here. Even Gallup realizes that there is a time to fold.

6. I dunno. Here in rural-to-suburban Ohio, their tax day rally...

...drew nearly two-fifths as many people as the pro-union rally drew.
