"The Tea Party movement, those folks rallying against spending last spring and Obamacare in the summer town halls, are viewed more favorably than the Democratic Party.

41% of Americans have a favorable opinion of the Tea Party movement, to 35% for Obama's party. Only 24% view Tea Party activists unfavorably, while 45% hold a negative view of the Democrats."
