Many more Tea Party stats:

By the numbers: The Tea Party

by Claire Gordon 11/05/2013
....

22 percent of Americans are tea party supporters

In a September Gallup poll, 22 percent of Americans said they were a supporter of the tea party movement, almost hitting its record low two years ago. Eleven percent called themselves strong supporters.

Tea party supporters make up half of voters in Republican primaries

While 38 percent of Republicans support the tea party, according to that same Gallup poll (compared to 6 percent of Democrats), around half of voters in Republican primaries are supportive of the tea party, says Vanessa Williamson, a government and social policy Ph.D. student at Harvard University and co-author of "The Tea Party and the Remaking of Republican Conservatism."

"If you have power there," says Williamson, "you really have power in the party."

27 percent of Americans oppose the tea party

Over a quarter of Americans, and over half of Democrats, considered themselves opposed to the tea party in September, the Gallup poll found. Opposition climbed slightly over the last year, but is 3 percentage points lower than its peak in June 2010.

49 percent have an unfavorable view

That's the highest it's ever been, according to an October Pew Research Center poll conducted during the government shutdown. Negative opinion has been on a sharp uptick since June. Positive opinion has also been on a slide, and now stands at 30 percent.
