Publisher's Summary:
Todays raucous revolt against Washington and Wall Street is a classic populist uprising. Now two respected political pollsters show what it means for the future of American politics.
The riotous tea parties and town hall meetings of last summer seemingly took everyone by surprise. They shouldnt have. Populist movements have always arisen in times of economic hardship. Here, Scott Rasmussen and Doug Schoen explore the heart of the uprising that has thrown American politics into turmoil.
In the past, populist movements have taken root either on the right or on the left. Todays revolt has two wings: a left wing that wants universal health care and a right wing that wants to reduce the power of governmental influence in our lives. Both are hostile to the Washington political class, Wall Street, and the mainstream media - all of which they consider out of touch with the concerns of real Americans. The difference is that left-wing populists are effectively represented by Barack Obama and congressional Democrats, while right-wing populists are chiefly represented by Fox News and Rush Limbaugh - a potentially more powerful political force.
Many have failed to comprehend the new populism, dismissing it as marginal and extreme. But it is reshaping American politics, whether politicians and elite journalists like it or not. The Tea Party movement is not a flash in the pan. Nor is it a movement of racist rednecks and ignorant boobs, as some have crudely suggested. It is an authentic grassroots movement of concerned American citizens demanding to be heard by an out-of-touch political establishment. Their concerns are real, their issues legitimate. The new populism is here to stay, and it has already changed our politics for the better.
Mad As Hell is an authoritative guide to the new populism, featuring proprietary polling data, political analysis, results from online focus groups, and more. It is a must-read for anyone interested in American electoral politics.

Members Reviews:
If anyone wants to know Who make up the Tea ...
If anyone wants to know Who make up the Tea Party, this is the book to read. Two imminent pollsters, Scott Rasmussen and Douglas Schoen, use public opinion polling information to categorize members of the Tea Party.
While the members vary in regard to Party affiliation, they share certain values such as smaller government and lower taxes.
Book
I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the Tea Party Movement. The book is very well written and very interesting
Thoughtful Insight
"Mad as Hell" is an excellent source of information about the growth of the tea party movement and the motivation behind its development. However, especially in the first few chapters of the book, the writing is a little disjointed and jerky.
