Beware, Florida Republicans: The tea party movement that swept you into office in 2010 could cost you the next election.
That's the takeaway message from Republican pollster and consultant Alex Patton, who conducted a recent survey showing that, by a 2:1 ratio, registered Florida voters said the tea party movement did not represent their views.
The sentiment against the tea party is significantly higher among self-described independent voters, who swing elections in Florida and who looked unfavorably on the tea party by 3-to-1, the poll showed. Only Republican voters favored the tea party movement, with 68 percent in support and less than 20 percent opposed.

Florida has virtually no republican population in Florida. I know, I lived there for 12 years. I had to register democrat just so I could vote for someone in the primaries. Polls like this won't mention that, though!
