Somewhat informative poll results, the title pretty well sums it up. Here is a quote: "“The ideas that find nearly universal agreement among Tea Party supporters are rather vague,” says J. Ann Selzer, the pollster who created the survey. “You would think any idea that involves more government action would be anathema, and that is just not the case.” I just can't figure out where tea party members were as W. was going from a budget surplus to adding 4.9 trillion to the national debt.

Informative Bloomberg poll about Tea Party activists, which sheds more light on their demographics and political attitudes. Findings suggest that Tea Party supporters are likely to be older, white and male, and that many are also Christian fundamentalists. Their top concern is money, and the poll exposes a contradiction in that they want the government out of their lives, but also want a government that fosters job creation. The poll of 1,002 U.S. adults was conducted March 19-22 by Selzer & Co, and their methodology seems sound. Fascinating read.

Decent point, I wish it would try harder to convince me it wasn't partisan.

Another poll summary. Sample is reasonably large (about 1000 people) and the description of results is clear. Nothing terribly surprising, but nice to have data to support intuitions about how Tea Party supporters compare to other American's.
