USA and UK: polls apart

Over on CiF Michael Tomasky glooms about the following CNN/ORC poll, conducted 21-23 September.

Republican Party
Too extreme 36%
Generally mainstream 58%
Mixed/Neither (vol.) 4%
No opinion 3%

Democratic Party
Too extreme 42%
Generally mainstream 53%
Mixed/Neither (vol.) 3%
No opinion 2%

Tea Party Movement
Too extreme 43%
Generally mainstream 41%
Mixed/Neither (vol.) 6%
No opinion 10%

"I give up", says Tomasky. If only, Michael, if only.

He is particularly exercised about the Republicans being cattle-prodded into scepticism about the global warming scam - oh, sorry, I see that's now "trying to do something about climate change" - by the electorate, as shown by the defeat of the Republican incumbent by the Tea Partier Christine O'Donnell in Delaware.

He says the Democrats have been losing the argument for 30 years. Well, maybe he would be happier if he gave up on his native land and settled here permanently. Views well to the left of the most wild-eyed US Democrats are centrist over here, and all three political parties are fully signed up to the global warming scam.
