The tea party has an inflated sense of self worth. They may claim that they represent the silent majority, or some such nonsense, but they don't.

NYtimes is a horrible polling group compared to the ones i've posted.  Gallup & Raussermin.

I'd trust Gallup over a NYTimes/CBS poll anyday.

Heck, just by compairing the two's methods you can see why the NYtimes poll sucks.

Rasmussen is nothing more than right-wing propoganda.

More damning charts here.

If you don't believe it then prove it wrong.

Rasmussen is usually on the low end of the aggregate.

However, in the same breath, NYTimes polling is the exact opposite. They've always had Obama's approval rating much higher than average. Dare I say, they are further off than Rasmussen is. If you'd like me to make a chart similar to the one you've provided, I gladly will.

I'll give you a precursor to a chart, though - NYT has never had Obama in the red. They have had one poll where he was +1% of the 10 times they've done polls on Obama....Despite the fact that Obama has had an aggregate rating of between -1% and 4% since December.
