Gallup Poll: Tea Party Movement As Large As Nation’s Entire Liberal Population…

Oh noes, the country has been overrun by terrorists!

(CNS News) — The percentage of Americans who expressly state that they are supporters of the Tea Party movement is currently about as large at 22 percent of the population as the 21 percent who say they are liberals, according to recent but separate Gallup polls.

Meanwhile, at 41 percent of the population, according to Gallup, self-described conservatives outnumber both Tea Party movement supporters and liberals by nearly 2-to-1.

In separate polls done on July 27 and August 2, 23 and 22 percent of respondents told Gallup they considered themselves supporters of the Tea Party movement. These polls (each of which was conducted in one day) had a margin of error of +/-4 points, and Gallup warned that polls conducted in one day “are subject to additional error or bias not found in polls conducted over several days.”

In fact, the July 27 and August 2 polls showed a considerably smaller percentage of Americans saying they were Tea Party supporters than previous Gallup polls conducted over three- and four-day periods.

For example, a Gallup survey conducted April 20–23 of this year, found that 30 percent of Americans described themselves as Tea Party supporters. Similarly, a Gallup poll conducted Jan. 14-16 of this year also found that 30 percent of Americans described themselves as Tea Party supporters.

    well, also….than there’s this…
    while there are many independents like me who don’t consider myself a tea partier but identify more with the tea party than the lunatic commie liberals, then the numbers for those who support the limited fiscal govt views of the tea party movement are probably closer to 40-50%

    ” The percentage of Americans who expressly state that they are supporters of the Tea Party movement is currently about as large at 22 percent of the population as the 21 percent who say they are liberals, according to recent but separate Gallup polls”

    Oh Shit, a statement like this will have the Libs pissing the pants because they know the TEA Party will only grow more stronger.

    If the Tea Party represent 22% of the public and “they don’t exist”, then what does that say about the 21% who are Liberal?

    I sent an email to Lurch today after he said on MSOBAMA that the media can’t be giving time to the Tea Party.

    I entered my name as ‘Ms. Tea Party Patriot’ and said “Who do you think you are telling us to shut up? WE AREN’T GOING TO SHUT UP!”

    I hope I wasn’t alone.

    I AM A PROUD TEA PARTY PATRIOT AND MAY OUR NUMBERS CONTINUE TO GROW!

    The political elite hate the Tea Party because the Tea Party is changing Washington DC. They can’t even get a damn earmark any more. They’re probably thinking “No Pork? What the hell is the point of even being here, anymore”?

    So if we are to avoid funding States who Sponsor Terrorism we need to cut off all entitlement spending yes?

    So does this mean the Silent Majority is part of the Axis of Evil???

    The tea party: (Patriotic Americans) can and will triumph over the progs, in a legal and fair election. Key words here Legal and Fair Election. We need a solid win. The Rinos need to go also.

    I am so happy to call myself a white-haired Tea Party member. Have marched on Washington and would love to march at Obummer’s birthday bash in Chicago. Does anyone have any info on this?

    The thing that really scares the heck out of Congress critters? Tea Partiers VOTE! Worse, ‘progressives’ are Dems most rabid voting block, and they’re a sliver of libs in general.

    Not a good sign for Zero, Dems, or ‘moderate’ RINOs.

    CONSERVATIVES NEED TO VOTE WITH THEIR MONEY TOO

    If a company gives money to any commiecrat, I do not give them my money.

    40% that a hurten on their pocket book.

    A Former DEM;
    First I salute someone who actually saw the light. But the Tea Party stands for more than a return to limited government and fiscal responsibility. It stands for a return to the Constitution which has been hammered under the Impostor-In -Chief and his brand of social communism.

    One doesn’t have to apologize for agreeing with the Tea Party just because the MSM decides they are “The devil incarnate”. It’s time for Americans to open their eyes if we are to survive as a nation.

    Most of us serious minded people tend to be overlooked by the boisterous game players we call liberals. To me they are criminals. The real doers in this country are growers. In other words, we don’t flaunt our skills. Liberals(criminals) walk around over inflated, thus giving the impression of a big stick.

    Tea Party Patriots are “growers”. We put it out when it counts!

    Liberals that still use that “Teabaggers” tag should understand the “growers” pun. Tee-Hee. :)

    The Tea Party is the silent majority that isn’t silent anymore and the RINO’s and Libtards can’t stand it.

    I think the percentage is higher because a lot of people may not declare themselves as Tea Partiers but they believe as the Tea Party believes and they are sick of Washington so they won’t be voting democrat or RINO. I hope and pray the RINO’s will soon be a thing of the past.

    This must be the reason the airwaves are full of talk on how the Tea Party is falling apart. The Entitlement Party is very scared!
