Not 80 to 90%, but rather under 60% in one direction and under 40% in the other. "People were asked if they considered themselves part of the tea party movement. Overall, 17 percent of those called said they did. Of that group, 57 percent called themselves Republicans; 28 percent said they were independents; 13 percent were Democrats." tampabay.com So 57% of the tea partiers are Republicans, and going the other way apparently about 9 and a half percent of the population are Republican tea partiers (17 percent times 57 percent), and I think about a quarter of Americans identify as Republicans, so about 38% of Republicans (.095/.25) identify with the Tea Party movement.
