Among likely Republican primary voters, 67% have a favorable opinion of the Tea Party movement and 9% have an unfavorable opinion. When voters were asked if they agree with the movement’s core values of fiscal responsibility, constitutionally limited government and free markets, 73% agreed and only 7% disagreed. Support for the core values of the Tea Party movement is slightly stronger among men than women, 76% to 70%. Regionally, the Tea Party movement is especially strong in the 3rd and 6th Congressional districts with 87% and 85% of voters agreeing with the core values of the movement respectively. Among voters that have a favorable image of the Tea Party movement, Paul leads Grayson 53% to 20%.
James,
Dr. Simon, while influential in the circles defined by the American Family Association, of which he is the head, does not speak for nor lead the way for the Louisville Grassroots TEA Party. There are goals which we have in common, others we may not. There are several groups participating in this weekend’s Senate Forum, for example. Dr. Simon has secured the venue, but those present will be from “on the ground” afforts from throughout the area. I have prepared a number of questions to present and no one from the AFA has edited or advised me as to what to ask. No outspoken, charismatic or lightning-rod personality, whether locally or nationally, is the face or voice of the true TEA Party movement in America.
We would welcome your involvement,
Dan
