Pollster Rasmussen on the Tea Party, 2010 vs 2013

2010: “[The Tea Party is] a genuinely grassroots phenomenon with unprecedented broad-based support. [I]t is literally groundbreaking . . . the American political landscape itself has irreversibly shifted.”

2013: “Only eight percent (8%) now say they are members of the Tea Party, down from a high of 24% in April 2010 just after passage of the national health care law.”
