They are better educated than most Americans: 37 percent are college graduates, compared to 25 percent of Americans overall.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
so 63% only (at most) hold a high school diploma? as I said earlier: better educated is not the same as well educated.

ok, found data..
although no scientific analisys, which is sad.. oh well..
one number that stands out...
5% unemployment among tea-party supporters vs 13% for the rest..
and half of the people polled were supporters?
interesting..

They tend to skew older: Three in four are 45 years old or older, including 29 percent who are 65 plus.
---------------------------------------------------------
the 29% who are 65+ are more likely to be retired, so they are less likelyto identify themselves as unemployed. the 45+ year olds are also lesslikely to be students or recent graduates looking for a job.

since they are older, I guess it's also not surprising that "while the vast majority opposes the health care reform bill, 62percent say programs like Social Security and Medicare are worth thecosts to taxpayers."
