More voters still think the average Tea Party member has a better handle on Americas problems than the average member of Congress does, but theres a sharp difference of opinion between Democrats and Republicans.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 42% of all Likely U.S. Voters believe the average member of the Tea Party has a better understanding of the problems America faces today, while 34% think the average member of Congress is more clued in. Twenty-four percent (24%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Still, that marks a 10-point drop in confidence in the Tea Party from March of last year when 52% felt the average member of the grass roots smaller government group had a better understanding of Americas problems. But the new findings arent a big boost of confidence in Congress since theres been only a slight increase from the 30% in March 2010 who thought the average congressman had a better feel for the nations problems.
