of likely Republican primary voters living in Alabama (473 self-identified Republicans,
66 self-identified independents, and 61 self-identified Democrats). Sample
Dates: March 9-11, 2012 Margin of Error: ±
4 percentage
points, 95% of the time, on questions where opinion
is evenly split. An "*" in the tables indicates responses of less than 1/2
of 1 percent. Question Wording:

the Tea Party movement, or not? Using a scale of 1 to
10, with 1 meaning that you will
definitely not vote in the
