Survey: DeLay District Disapproves Of His Job Performance DeLay Did Not Comment On Local 2 Survey Results POSTED: 5:18 pm CDT May 2, 2005 UPDATED: 5:39 pm CDT May 2, 2005 HOUSTON -- The majority of voters in House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's district do not approve of his job performance, according to an exclusive Local 2 poll released Monday. SurveyUSA asked 548 registered voters in the 22nd congressional district several questions about the embattled republican's performance. In general, do you approve or disapprove of the job Tom DeLay is doing as Congressman? 51 percent disapproved 42 percent approved 7 percent were not sure What letter grade would you give Tom DeLay for his job as congressman? An A, B, C, D, or an F? A: 23 percent B: 19 percent C: 18 percent D: 16 percent F: 22 percent Not Sure: 1 percent Based on what you know right now, do you think Tom DeLay should remain in his position as House Majority Leader, he should resign as House Majority Leader but remain a member of Congress, or do you think he should completely resign from Congress? 39 percent: Remain House Majority Leader 21 percent: Resign Leadership 36 percent: Resign From Congress 4 percent: Not Sure The poll had a margin of error of 4.3 percent, pollsters said. "What I see is the people who have always been opposed to him, democrats and those that have been opposed to him, they are still opposed to him and they are more vocal," said Eric Thode, with the Fort Bend County Republican Party. Thode said DeLay still has strong support from republicans in his district, but believes the Local 2 poll did not represent enough Republicans. Democrats said the Local 2 poll showed DeLay is vulnerable at the ballot box. DeLay has faced ethics questions about money used to pay for some foreign trips, political fundraising for Texas elections and his ties to a lobbyist Jack Abramoff. DeLay has denied wrongdoing and has not been charged with violating any law. Shannon Flaherty, with Tom DeLay's office, released the following statement. "The people of his district know that Congressman DeLay is guided by principles, not by polls. He keeps getting re-elected election after election because of the positive work he's doing on the issues that matter most to the families in his district like growing the economy, fully funding our space program, fighting for tax relief, and improving mobility."
