Tea party support drops to new low
By Nick Gass/October 26, 2015/Politico
Nearly
five years after Republicans reclaimed control of the House with the
help of the nascent tea party movement, support for the group has
dropped to its lowest level ever, according to the results of a new
national Gallup poll released Monday. And fewer Americans are taking sides on the movement than even before.
Just
17 percent of adults said they are currently tea party supporters,
compared with 32 percent in November 2010, the peak of support.
Opposition to the tea party stands at 24 percent, down from the high of
31 percent last year. But a record 54 percent said they are neither
supporters nor opponents.
Support for the conservative political movement has not topped 25 percent since August 2012, three months before President Barack Obama's reelection.
