Is your tea getting cold? A new poll suggests the Tea Party movement may be losing some of its steam in the run-up to Election Day.

The ABC/Washington Post survey found that only 18 percent of registered voters now say they are more likely to vote for a Tea Party affiliated candidate. That’s down from 30 percent in July. Those less likely to vote for a Tea Party candidate remains at 28 percent.

Overall, 47 percent of the 1,002 Americans polled Sept. 30-Oct. 3 oppose the Tea Party, vs. 40 percent who support it. The split was even among likely voters, according to results that have a 3.5 percentage point margin of error.

Tea Party leader Ginni Thomas dismissed the findings in an interview with ABC’s Good Morning America.

“The real poll will be on Nov. 2,” said Thomas, founder of the nonprofit group Liberty Central and wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
