Tea Party made up of mostly Old White Christian Men

A new poll of Selzer & Co. of Des Moines, Iowa, found that Tea Party supporters "want the federal government out of their lives except when it comes to creating jobs." Most believe that the federal government spends too much and that it is "trying to control too many aspects of private life," Bloomberg reported. "They also look to the government in rein in Wall Street, with almost half saying the government should do something about executive bonuses." Other than that, there is very little the Tea Partiers agree on. The poll, of more than 1,000 individuals conducted earlier this week, found that those who support the Tea Party tend to be older, male, and white; only about one in every five supporters was under the age of 35. "Many are also Christian fundamentalists, with 44 percent identifying themselves as 'born-again,' " Bloomberg reported.
