Mouse-over for notes about the data
Respondents were asked whether they "Strongly support", "Somewhat support", "Somewhat oppose", or "Strongly oppose" the following proposals.
Tea Party idenfication is based on the following question, also asked in the survey: "Suppose the Tea Party movement organized itself as a political party. When thinking about the next election for Congress, would you vote for the Republican candidate from your district, the Democratic candidate from your district, or the Tea Party candidate from your district?" Those who responded "Republican candidate" are considered Republicans (non-Tea Party movement) and those who responded "Tea Party candidate" are considered Tea Party Republicans.
