51% of Americans have a favorable view of the “tea parties” held nationwide last week; 33%  view the events unfavorably; 15% hadn’t even heard about the tea parties (since they get their news exclusively from the NY Times)..  

The tea parties were viewed favorably by 83% of Republicans, 49% of unaffiliated Americans, and 28% of Democrats.
