Some local leftybloggers – and national liberal pundits, for that matter – are tittering that “the Tea Party is dead!”.

But if this Gallup poll is accurate, the Tea Party is now the mainstream:

Americans’ fear of big government – partly fueled by a sharp spike among Democrats since President Barack Obama took office – almost reached a record high this year and is far greater than people’s concerns about big business and big labor, a new Gallup poll Monday shows.

If you’re a Tea Partier, and you’re wondering all that sound and fury signified anything, you can look at this bit here (emphasis added)…:

An overwhelming 64 percent of people surveyed said big government was the biggest threat to the country, compared to just 26 percent who said big business is their gravest concern and 8 percent who picked big labor.

…and think “Mission Accomplished”.

Not that the job is done.

  1. I have to agree with you, Kermit. Although, Gallup does seem to be a little less left leaning these days.
