Tea Party Movement Takes Aim at DC

The tea party movement may well be the most powerful and potent force in America.

More than half, or 54percent, of Americans believe the tea party movement has been a good thing for the U.S. political system, our new survey revealed. Only 22 percent say that it is a bad thing, while 19 percent say it has made no difference.

This agrees with other recent polls. Fifty-five percent of Americans said that the tea party movement can be effective in making major changes in Washington in the near future, according to the most recent ABC News/Yahoo! News poll.
