Disapproval of the job by Obama does NOT automatically mean those people support GOP policies. Much of the disapproval is due to not being progressive, and aggressive, enough to fight regressive GOP policies. That would be Bernie Sanders supporters, who are definitely not Tea Party types. Simple statistics do not always give you the nuance of what they mean, so be careful in drawing conclusions.
