Tea Parties Have Good Favorables

Independents have a higher rating for the tea parties than they do for Obama, just FYI.

Disapproval of tea parties even among Obama voters won't be extremely high....all you have to do in the U.S. to gain approval is crusade against taxes. Doesn't mean that the public is turning on the current administration.

I didn't say that. Just pointing out that it might not be good for congressional Democrats to demagogue the events.

Oh well...that might be true, then, although I don't think congressional approval necessarily means all that much...the Democrats did, after all, gain lots of seats in Congress in 2008 with an approval of like under 20%

Don't really think that the Tea Parties will matter much....ever, but that's just a hunch
