The Tea Party's popularity has taken a beating in Michigan after the government shutdown, with almost half of voters viewing the conservative movement negatively.
And more than a third -- 35.3 percent, to be exact -- have a "strongly unfavorable" opinion of the Tea Party, according to a new Lambert Edwards & Associates (LE&A)/Denno Research poll done from Nov. 12 to 14.
Only 28.8 percent of voters view the movement positively, with a scant 10.7 percent giving it "strongly favorable" marks.
The Michigan poll is consistent with national surveys showing the Tea Party's popularity plummeted to record lows after the shutdown, which was the brainchild of movement leaders like U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).
But the news gets worse.
Women tend to decide elections. And they're not buying what the Tea Party is selling.
By almost a 2-to-1 margin (44 percent to 25 percent) in the LE&A/Denno poll, women see the Tea Party as a negative force. One-third of women have a very unfavorable opinion, with only 12 percent seeing the Tea Party very positively.....

I don't think the TP is as organized as they think they aare......
Damn. And me a Tea Partier for the love and admiration of it all.
Us in the 7th District refer to Susan Demas as Susan Dumbass. She’s a hack who hates anyone to the right of McCain. She’s mad that we fired her favorite RINO Joe Schwarz and replaced him with Tim Walberg.
I won’t belong to an organized tea party group.
Susan Dumbass is still mad about Schwarz
LOL She treats Walberg like he stood her up for the prom.
Just so you all know this c*nt in Mlive’s resident left-wing troll.
She is there specifically to get page views and 500 comment flame wars started. She’s always posting dumb commentaries like this.
I was going to look her bio etc up but you know she’s just another Obama drone.
The Tea Party isn’t about Marxist polls, it’s about winning elections.
Pray America is Waking
Ted Cruz was right.
She’s as bad as they come.
I hear rumors of the Tea Party. I read of people talking about it
I see no Tea Party. I see no organized evidence. I get no fund raising requestsThe truth is Lois Lerner destroyed the Tea Party.
The truth is......It was. : (
You just know she’s a regular poster at the DUmp.
In your dreams, Suze.
There’s an election coming up next year ,so they must shut the Tea Party down once more
The Tea Party’s popularity is irrelevant. The real issue is constitutonal limits on the federal government’s powers, limits which the corrupt, unconstitutionally big federal government is wrongly ignoring.
Sadly, the federal government has been getting away with ignoring its limited powers because parents have not been making sure that their children are being taught the federal government’s limited powers.
How about CLASSICAL Republican Party?
NONE of the TEA party women I know, including myself, have fallen away! This is complete hogwash!!!!
So, just who in hell is this Susan Dupa and why should I give a RATZ A what the bimbo thinks?
Just asking.
Tea Party vindicated when Obamacare continues to disrupt everyone’s healthcare!
