The Tea Party Patriots conservative grassroots movement is now more popular than either major party according to a major new poll.
According to the new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll released Wednesday, 41 percent of likely voters now have a favorable opinion of the Tea Party Patriots. That compares to a 35percent favorable rating for Democrats and 28 percent for the GOP.
The stunning conclusion: If the Tea Party Patriots were a political party it is increasingly shifting its emphasis in a nonpartisan political direction it would be the most popular party in America.
The results suggest voter antipathy toward both major parties is more profound than initially recognized.
It also indicates that the left-wing bloggers and talk hosts who have consistently derided the Tea Party Patriots throughout the year with an obscene tea bagger reference are out of step with the American people.
This is stunning to me just because it shows how angry Americans are the Tea Party movement [is] more popular than both major parties, MSNBC Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough said Thursday. The parties are dying.
