Rasmussen Poll: Tea Party Beats GOP on Generic Three-Way Ballot

[DearAbby]

More Americans would vote for a "Tea Party" candidate than a Republican, according to a Rasmussen poll released Monday that quizzed voters on a hypothetical three-way ballot. Respondents were asked to assume that the "Tea Party" was an organized new party, despite the fact that it is highly unlikely the grassroots conservative movement that has gained momentum this year will become a third party.

A majority of Americans said they would vote Democratic (36 percent), while the number who said they would vote "Tea Party" (23 percent) slightly edged out Republican voters (18 percent). Another 22 percent say they were undecided.

Among voters not affiliated with either party, the Tea Partiers had a clear advantage: 33 percent said they would support a Tea Party candidate, compared with 30 percent who said they were undecided, 25 percent Democrat and only 12 percent Republican.

9. That was probably a true statement ...

... before Rasmussen doctored the numbers.


And Rasmussen, BTW, is the go-to poll for the RW Media Hatemongers like OxyRush, Hannity & Beck.

That should pretty much establish their credibility ... or lack thereof.

3. It's good to see fragmentation among the RWers.

However, whenever I see anything from Rasmussen I tend to believe the opposite of what they allege.

4. Great...

So much for fixing the Democratic Party. Maybe if the sane Republicans win it will push us back to the left.

Fat fucking chance.
