Public support for the Tea Party is falling to a near-record low.  A new Gallup poll finds only 22 percent of people saying they support the staunchly conservative political movement.  The poll also found that while most Republicans are ambivalent about the Tea Party, a large majority of Democrats oppose it.  Support for the Tea Party peaked in 2010, and the movement is credited with helping Republicans recapture the majority in the House of Representatives.
