The Teabagger View Of GOP's 2016 Presidential Hopefuls
This chart was made with information from a recent YouGov Poll -- conducted between July 26th and 28th of a random national sample of 1,000 adults, and has a margin of error of 5 points.
I found this survey interesting, because it has become very apparent that the teabaggers (along with their evangelical cohorts) are going to have a big voice in who the GOP presidential nominee is going to be in 2016. In fact, they may well have the final say in who is chosen (since they control the Republican Party in many, if not most states).
Keeping that in mind, this chart should make Democrats very happy. The teabaggers are happiest with the most extreme Republican hopefuls, and least happy with those viewed as being a bit more moderate (Bush and Christie). This makes it very likely that the 2016 GOP nominee will be their most extremist candidate in modern times -- a candidate that is unacceptable to the majority of Americans.
