Tea Party 48% Obama 44% (Tea Party Member Is Closer To Voter Views Than Obama's!)

[Mike VP]

On major issues, 48% of voters say that the average Tea Party member is closer to their views than President Barack Obama. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 44% hold the opposite view and believe the president’s views are closer to their own.
Not surprisingly, there was a powerful split between mainstream Americans and members of the Political Class. Eighty-seven percent (87%) of those in the Political Class say their views are closer to the president. Sixty-three percent (63%) of Mainstream Americans say their views are closer to the Tea Party.

The divide is reflected in party preference. Republicans overwhelmingly feel closer to the Tea Party and most Democrats (including a majority of government employees, etc.) say that their views are more like Obama’s. The Obama Administration has created a significantly larger government and political role in the economy.

Among voters not affiliated with either major political party, 50% say they’re closer to the Tea Party while 38% side with the President.
