Poll shows that Tea Partiers really like…John Boehner and Mitch McConnell?

The Pew Center has some really neat stuff in its new poll of Republican voters — including this particular chart showing the favorability ratings among some major Republican figures.

There are a few surprises about the potential presidential candidates. One thing that surprises me is that Rand Paul has such low negatives overall, especially after he’s been putting himself out there so much lately and shamelessly running for the presidency. Another is that Chris Christie is liked about as much by Tea Party types as he is by mainline Republicans — although the former are more likely to view him unfavorably.

But perhaps a less-noticed takeaway — and one that really surprises me — is that Tea Party Republicans like House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell a lot more than mainline non-tea-party Republican voters do.

All depends on how the stinky pollsters worded the questions......frequently it is of the when did you stop beating your wife variety
