RUTGERS-EAGLETON POLL FINDS NEW JERSEYANS HAVE LESS FAVORABLE VIEW OF THE TEA PARTY MOVEMENT
New Jersey registered voters have a less favorable impression of the Tea Party movement than other states as shown in recent national polls, according to a new Rutgers-Eagleton poll.

While it is no surprise that Democrats do not view the movement favorably, New Jersey independent voters are not very supportive as well, with 29 percent expressing a favorable opinion, compared to 49 percent of Republicans and 10 percent of Democrats.
