Tea Party Movement As Popular As Socialism

This interesting chart/graph from guest bloggers over at Think Progress:

The numbers don’t lie.

Check out this link to see the charts: http://thinkprogress.org/2010/04/05/socialism-vs-tea-parties/

The percentage of Americans viewing “The Tea Party movement” favorably: 37 percent. The percentage of Americans with a positive image of “socialism”: 36 percent. (Both sources, Gallup).

Although the question wording is not exactly the same, the point is obvious. You can find roughly 4 in 10 Americans who will give a positive rating to just about anything in politics that they know little about.
