Rasmussen reported on July 21 that:

Over the past year, the Democrats fixed on what they thought was a devastating four-word slogan to defeat Republicans in 2010: “The Party of No.” Unlike many campaign slogans, it was fair enough. After all, the Republicans had opposed almost unanimously all of President Obama’s major bills (socialized health care, stimulus, nationalization of GM and Chrysler, “cap and trade,” financial overregulation, multitrillion-dollar yearly deficits, tax increases, etc.)

But the Democrats seem to have stopped using that phrase in the past several weeks as, apparently, White House strategists have come to appreciate that the only people screaming “no” louder than the Grand Old Party are the American people. (The president is now opposed by more than 60 percent of independents, 60 percent of whites, almost 40 percent of Hispanics and a full 19 percent of registered Democrats — all historic worst numbers for the president.) [bold emphasis mine]

So there you have it! November can’t come quickly enough so we can at least take care of Congress.

In a recent poll released by Investor’s Business Daily, it shows that seventy-five (75%) of Independents have a favorable view of the Tea Party movement. This is great news for us. This just goes to show that our ideas and platform are mainstream. People are listening, we just need to keep sharing what we are all about! Let’s double the size of Richmond Tea Party in 2010!

Further, the poll found that independents are more inclined to vote for a tea party candidate over Democratic or Republican candidates.  While some Republicans have expressed dismay over the emergence of the tea party movement, others have suggested that the GOP should embrace the group and its issues.”  Read More…

“As for the tea-party numbers, we already knew they were more popular than the GOP, but now, thanks to O-Care, they’ve lapped the Democrats too. Ironclad proof of a surge in fiscally conservative populism across the nation?”  Read More…
