Even Socialists more popular then Teabaggers now in USA.

[Steeplerot]

Americans have been watching the Teabaggers for almost two years now, and as it turns out, unbridled, spittle-producing rage isn’t very popular.

52 percent of Americans now hold unfavorable views of the tea party, a new high. Nearly three-quarters of Democrats – including as many moderate and conservative as liberal members of the party – have negative views of the political movement, as do half of all independents.

As they always do, wingnuts are blaming the media — but these numbers are almost identical to the same poll’s findings in June 2010 — well before the ‘Baggers got blood libeled [sic].

Only 35% of Americans like the Teabaggers, about the same number that like Saudi Arabia. Kinda figures. Both love to drill for oil, hate gays, and believe in theocracy.

Russia, on the other hand — the country that Republicans still love to demagogue — has a net-positive 47/45 favorable rating.

As for socialism, it’s viewed favorably by 36% of Americans, a fact which will just make Teabaggers even angrier and crazier.

Seems the teabaggers are (no surprise) the same 33-35%er hardliners who stuck with Bush till the end making a bunch of noise now thanks to a new influx of corporate cash.

Yet this is the movement that helped evict the overwhelming democrat superiority in the House and leveled the odds in the Senate.

Yep, definitely ineffective, nothing to see here. Quick, get more revisionism, the current batch isn't working enough!

Yeah, Uh Right.

Yeah, it couldn't possibly be because of the economy?

How many were replaced with self proclaimed "tea party" members because I know at least with the senate race their win ratio was pretty poor. Lol Christine.

Far-right-wingers coming within 1% of multi-decade career democrats in liberal strongholds means America really did want Obamacare all along! :whiste:

 

[EagleKeeper]

Once can always find opinion pieces to support ones view.

Only time tells if your view was accurate.
And chosing the window of time to evaluate allows a change in the view to claim victory even in defeat.

Really, it was a major campaign promise and he was elected right? You mean people started hating it when it got forced down to less than most wanted and then lies came out about it that scared the rest.

 

[SlowSpyder]

They're catching up to Obama's approval ratings.

53% positive and rising?

 

[Craig234]

People with the better policies than we have now poll slightly better than the crowd of disgruntled people with little coherent but bad message funded by self-serving rich.

The only problem with the story is that nearly everyone doesn't prefer the socialists to the 'tea party'.

When the Republicans use socialism as a propaganda demonizing word so badly for decades, there's plenty of room for people to get better informed and like it more.

 

[werepossum]

I have a very hard time believing that poll. For one thing, it's two months after Americans soundly rejected the party of more socialism, yet socialism is supposedly more popular than the Tea Partiers? For another, supposedly a majority of people want a ban on high capacity magazines, yet only the farthest left Democrats in the safest districts and states will touch any kind of additional gun control. Sounds like a push poll to me - and I suspect the Democrats know it.

Holly cow. FUD has been exposed!

Or, it is the same cycle of government change as expected. With a lot of fanfare from the rw media. You would think the Republicans weren't a minority party with all this loud corporate funded racket. Anyhow, empty barrels make the most noise, keep 'belivin the gospel.

??? Empty barrels make the most noise???

Remember, if those empty barrels tell you to kill someone, Marx wants you to consult a government psychiatric health care worker first.

 

[Steeplerot]

Were, I know that is a really old dockworker phrase, the empty barrels denote something very loud but hollow and nowhere near as impressive as the bluster they create. As in the manufactured teaparty/republican "mandate" rhetoric from a altogether unimpressive midterm result. When you hear talk radio/foxnews describe it god himself came down and smote Obama with capitalist lightning lol, instead, in reality the Reps stayed a minority party.

Republicans and their media reminds me of my buddies yard, full of scared chihuahuas who make a big deal when a black man goes near their fence, but when it comes down to action they just make a lot of noise and pee themselves while he puts the mail in the slot and carries on with work.

Too bad Obama is in with the Yale/Harvard blueblood crowd then. Sucks for them.

Who they got representin Bernie maybe? Teabaggers got too many to count. Socialism is not very popular if you think about it.

Most pols right or left are put there by corporations to do their bidding. Wal Mart loves welfare and SS it's where most their profit comes from. Monsato loves farm subsidies and patenting seeds congress gave them. They all love lax banking and securities laws and outsourcing. This is why there is no real jobs programs or much of anything to help middle and lower class. Sure you have a few billion SBA loans but most everything is just enough so people don't riot while the Yale/Harvard crowd rapes the country.

Just shows you how little the Americans think of the Tea Baggers.

I'm quite certain that every poll that fails to support your personal ideology is deeply flawed.

I like you. You provide a poll which, within the margin of error, shows half the folks in the country lean right and half lean left, that a small portion are socialist and about the same are hard right wing zealots. Then you bring up corporate funded racket (which the left got far more money from than the right in the last several election cycles), and somehow propose it means all people who aren't of your ilk are simply making noise.

Please keep posting. You do far more to disprove your own viewpoints than you do to help them.

Ah, very nice. He suggests that the poll does not reflect the most recent reality of voting, and that therefore it may be suspect. Your response is an entirely nonfactual messenger attack.

*Golf Clap*.

cool story bro

 

[irishScott]

So the extreme right is just as popular (within 1&#37 as the extreme left, in a country where 80% are moderate/independent. Shocker.

If you think (sorry, feel) that the largest electoral shift in 60 years is an "altogether unimpressive midterm result", then you must have been expecting G-d Almighty to send down lightning. And your buddy has weird, racist, pussy dogs. No man should ever own a chihuahua unless he's dying it pink to match his frock.

Possibly. I remain skeptical.

I KNOW that every poll that fails to support my personal ideology is deeply flawed, but I still believe most of them are reasonably accurate. This particular one, purporting to show Americans like socialism better than the Tea Party just two months after Americans rejected socialism in favor of Republicans, seems highly suspect. It's possible that Americans held their noses to vote for Tea Party Republicans just because they hated Democrats even more, I admit. It's also possible that Americans voted for those candidates they considered to be conservative rather than Tea Party, but even the weakest Senate candidates identified with the Tea Parties (those most bashed by the national media) got more votes than this poll suggests they should.

Socialism is more popular than Tea Partiers. See SS and Medicare.
