Story Highlights 73% of Tea Party Republicans extremely/very motivated to vote Much more motivated than other Republicans, non-Republicans Tea Party Republicans most focused on deficit, Iraq and Syria
PRINCETON, N.J. -- Although the Tea Party has not been as visible in this year's midterm elections as it was in 2010, Tea Party Republicans have given more thought to this year's elections and are much more motivated to vote than are non-Tea Party Republicans or other Americans. About one in four Americans continue to say they support the Tea Party.
These results, from a Sept. 25-30 Gallup poll, demonstrate that despite what appears to be a lower profile this year, the Tea Party wing of the Republican Party -- about 18% of all national adults -- remains a powerful force, given their higher interest in the election and higher motivation to vote. This is not a new phenomenon; Republican Tea Party supporters gave the 2010 midterm elections more thought and were more motivated to vote than other Republicans, although all voters in general were paying more attention that year.
Previous Gallup research has shown that Tea Party Republicans are considerably more likely than other Republicans, as well as the rest of the population, to identify as conservatives. As befits this ideological orientation, Tea Party Republicans interviewed in a Sept. 4-7 survey were significantly more likely than other Republicans and the rest of the population to believe the government is doing too much, that there is too much government regulation of business and too much federal government power, and that government should be limited to providing only the most basic functions.
Tea Party Republicans also differ from other Republicans in the importance they place on a number of specific issues in terms of their midterm election vote. In particular, Tea Party Republicans are much more likely than other Republicans to say the federal budget deficit and the Affordable Care Act are "extremely important" to their vote, and they view a number of other issues as at least somewhat more important than do non-Tea Party-supporting Republicans. At the other end of the spectrum, Tea Party Republicans place somewhat less importance than other Republicans on equal pay for women and the availability of good jobs as issues.
Even with these differences, the top issues for Tea Party Republicans are generally the same as the top issues for other Republicans, except that Tea Party Republicans -- reflecting their overall higher levels of interest in the elections -- generally give the top issues at least a slightly higher importance rating.
More broadly, compared with all non-Republicans, Tea Party Republicans differ most in the importance they place on the deficit and the situation with the Islamic militants, and the lack of importance they place on equal pay for women.

Tea Party Republicans Highly Motivated to Vote in Midterms
In another troubling sign for Democrats, the results of a Gallup poll released on Friday show that Tea Party Republicans are much more motivated to vote in the upcoming midterm elections than other Americans.
The poll found that 73 percent of Tea Party Republicans are "extremely" or "very" motivated to vote in this year's elections compared to 57 percent of other Republicans and just 42 percent of non-Republicans.
Fifty-four percent of Tea Party Republicans also said they have given "quite a lot" or "some" thought to the upcoming elections.
Gallup said the results suggest that the Tea Party, representing about 18 percent of all adults, remains a powerful force despite what appears to be a lower profile this year.
The poll also found that Tea Party Republicans are much more likely than other Republicans to say the federal budget deficit and Obamacare are "extremely important" to their vote.
Meanwhile, Tea Party Republicans place less importance on issues such as equal pay for women and the availability of good jobs.
Gallup Editor in Chief Frank Newport said, "Although the Tea Party has been less visible in the election campaigning that has taken place this year in both the primaries and the lead-up to the general election, Tea Party supporters' stronger motivation to vote underscores the group's importance to the election outcome."
"Because most Tea Party supporters are Republicans or Republican leaners," he added, "the main effect of Tea Party supporters in the general election will be to provide a motivated base for the GOP to build on as it focuses on getting out the vote."
The Gallup survey of 1,252 adults was conducted September 25th through 30th and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
