The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 52% of U.S. voters believe the average member of the Tea Party movement has a better understanding of the issues facing America today than the average member of Congress. Only 30% believe that those in Congress have a better understanding of the key issues facing the nation.
When it comes to those issues, 47% think that their own political views are closer to those of the average Tea Party member than to the views of the average member of Congress. On this point, 26% feel closer to Congress.
Finally, 46% of voters say that the average Tea Party member is more ethical than the average member of Congress. Twenty-seven percent (27%) say that the average member of Congress is more ethical.
By a 62% to 12% margin, Mainstream Americans say the Tea Party is closer to their views.

Let's see now... why don't I find this surprising?
No, not surprising at all.
What I do like is that even pollsters, like Rasmussen, are using the term "political class."
More and MORE people are beginning to see that "the political class," is as removed from the productive class as was any Colonialist Monarchy.
