Poll: Tea Party Popular In Idaho
A new poll says 63 percent of likely Republican primary voters in Idaho "generally support the 
agenda of the tea party movement," and one in six call themselves members. The finding in the nation's most Republican state comes from an Idaho Statesman/KBOI-TV Channel 2 poll conducted May 17-19 by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research in Washington, D.C. A national ABC/Washington Post poll in late April found 27 percent support the tea party movement. The same poll asked respondents of all political parties if they were "active" in the movement, and just 2 percent said yes. The Statesman/KBOI-TV poll asked a different question of Idaho Republicans, "Do you consider yourself a member of the tea party?" and 16 percent said yes/Dan Popkey, Idaho Statesman. More here.
Question: Are you surprised that the Tea Party is more popular in Idaho than elsewhere?
