of likely Republican primary voters living in Georgia (470 self-identified Republicans, 101
self-identified independents, and 29 self-identified Democrats). Sample
Dates: March 3-5, 2012 Margin of Error: ±
4 percentage
points, 95% of the time, on questions where opinion

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