With Republicans vigorously pushing spending cuts -- and winning the short term battles with Democrats, First Readnotes the new NBC/WSJ poll finds the Americans who are most concerned about spending cuts are core Republicans and conservatives, not independents or swing voters.

Said GOP pollster Bill McInturff: "It may be hard to understand why a person might jump off a cliff, unless you understand they're being chased by a tiger. That tiger is the Tea Party."

Key findings: "33% of Tea Party supporters, 34% of Republicans, and 35% of McCain voters list deficit/spending as the top issue the federal government should address, compared with 23% of independents, 24% of suburban women, 19% of seniors, and 19% of those ages 18 to 34 who say that. By contrast, 35% of seniors, 39% of 18- to 34-year-olds, 40% of independents, and 41% of suburban women believe job creation/economic growth is nation's top issue."
