According to Rasmussen, if the Tea Party were its own political party it would be more popular than the GOP. Highlights:
•In a three way generic ballot, Democrats would attract 36% of the vote, Tea Party 23% of the vote, and the GOP 18% of the vote.
•Among Independents, 33 % would vote Tea Party candidate, 30% are undecided, 25% would vote Democrat, and just 12% prefer the GOP.
•Almost as many Republicans would vote Tea Party (33%) as would vote GOP (39%).
•Seventy percent of Republican voters have a favorable opinion of the Tea Party movement, 43% of Independents have a favorable opinion, and 49% of Democrats have no opinion one way or the other.
•Forty-one percent of all voters nationwide say Republicans and Democrats are so much alike that we need a new party.
Could we be looking at the rise of a third political party?
