- 42% support the pretty darn angry Tea Party
- 52% of angry voters identify as Republicans

- » Other things to note: Is this just a hype issue? That’s Newsweek’s conclusion. They say that the chances of angry voters voting in the 2010 elections is roughly the same as normal voters, and there’s a lot more of those.
