Rasmussen: Tea Party Patriots Represent America. Obama? Not So Much




One the heels of the latest report from The Winston Group that states 40% of Tea Party patriots are democrats and independents, comes yet another blow to Obama and the Marxist-democrat party from Scott Rasmussen:

On major issues, 48% of voters say that the average Tea Party member is closer to their views than President Barack Obama. The latest
Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 44% hold the opposite view and believe the president’s views are closer to their own.

Not surprisingly, Republicans overwhelmingly feel closer to the Tea Party and most Democrats say that their views are more like Obama’s. Among voters not affiliated with either major political party, 50% say they’re closer to the Tea Party while 38% side with the President.

The partisan divide is similar to that found in the President’s Job Approval Ratings and on the Generic Congressional Ballot.

"
Unaffiliated voters are continuing the pattern they established in 2006 and 2008 of opposing the party in power," notes Scott Rasmussen, president of Rasmussen Reports. In his new book, Scott makes the case that "the American people don’t want to be governed from the left, the right, or the center. They want to govern themselves." In Search of Self-Governance has received positive reviews from across the political spectrum and is available at Rasmussen ReportsAmazon.com.

Eighty-seven percent (87%) of those in the Political Class say their views are closer to the president. The Obama Administration has created a significantly larger government and political role in the economy.

Sixty-three percent (63%) of Mainstream Americans say their views are closer to the Tea Party.

Last week, Rasmussen Reports released data showing that 47% of voters felt closer to the views of Tea Party members than to Congress. Only 26% felt closer to Congress.

The new polling found that just 33% believe their views are closer to the average member of a Labor Union than to Congress. In fact, a plurality of voters were undecided when asked about that comparison. While 48% of Democrats said their own views were closer to the average union member, most Republicans and unaffiliated voters could not choose between the two.

In a head-to-head comparison, 45% felt closer to the average Tea Party Member while 35% felt closer to the average union member.

Fifty-three percent (53%) believe their views are closer to the average school teacher than to Congress. Teachers scored six points higher than the Tea Party members when compared to Congress.

In a head-to-head match-up, 47% said they felt closer to the average school teacher while 41% said they felt closer to the average Tea Party member. Once again, the results betray a heavy partisan difference. Democrats prefer the school teachers, Republicans are closer to the Tea Party, and unaffiliated voters are evenly divided.

Earlier polling found that just 16% of voters nationwide consider themselves part of the Tea Party Movement. However, views of the Tea Party remain more positive than negative among voters. Just 11% believe Congress is doing a good or an excellent job.

Gallup finds the Tea Party Patriots are "fairly mainstream":

PRINCETON, NJ -- Tea Party supporters skew right politically; but demographically, they are generally representative of the public at large. That's the finding of a USA Today/Gallup poll conducted March 26-28, in which 28% of U.S. adults call themselves supporters of the Tea Party movement.
The Gallup Poll serves to back up the polling done by The Winston Group as well. According to Gallup, Independents and democrats make up a whopping 51% of the Tea Party Patriots.

No matter how you slice it, this most certainly spells the end of the Marxist-democrat party, and politics as we know it now.

The Tea Party Patriots are focused on returning America’s government to fiscal responsibility and restoring her standing as a Constitutional Republic. And that’s a good thing.
