College graduate 23%. BTW 124 TOTAL interviews is not a good representation.
However, according to the LA Times the number is 75%. I think that the number is probably closer to the 23% given the demographic. 23% is NEAR the median for college graduates nationally. Given that many are located in more conservative areas, these areas are typically slightly higher on the economic scale, but slightly lower on the education scale.
I really suggest you do a little more research than just the first google website before calling BS.
I am not really familiar with the Tea Party movement but what I do know is that they want smaller government, fiscal responsiblity and they tout themselves as being hard-working Americans. Yet they align themselves with the Republican party. The party of big business and huge government. Seems as though somewhere along the way the Tea Party got hijacked or they were just talking heads.

The bulk of them are just anti-Obama, virtually without substance or thought other than that.

If these Republican media wh*@^s who have been in the news lately are any indication of what the Tea Party stands for, then I can understand your sentiment. They have been enough for me to take a step back and re-examine my political affliation.
Surely both Repubs and Dems have enough to worry about with having to get their face in the news? Like finally getting the 2011 budget done, figuring out what they are going to do about the debt ceiling and getting a budget for 2012.

Even the link you just posted shows that 37% (23% and 14%) of the Tea Party supporters have a college or post graduate education compared to 25% of the general population polled.
What looked like a true grassroots movement two years ago is now known to be an astroturf group of stooges acting on behalf of wealthy lobbying groups in DC. Their continued angry opposition to any policy favorable to the middle class isn't earning them public support.

What started out as a grassroots movement at the turn of the century is now known to be an astroturf group of thugs acting on behalf of wealthy unions. Their continued angry opposition to any policy favorable to taxpayers isn't earning them them public support.
