"More Bad News for Republicans

"Americans say that Republican Congressional leaders put their political interests ahead of protecting the safety of teenage pages, and that House leaders knew of former Representative Mark Foley’s sexually charged messages to pages well before he was forced to quit Congress," according to a new New York Times/CBS News poll.

President Bush’s job approval has slipped to 34%, "one of the lowest levels of his presidency, posing a complication for the White House as it seeks to send him out on the road to rally the Republican base voters. Mr. Bush’s job approval rating has even slipped with his base: 75 percent of conservative Republicans approve of the way he has handled his job, compared with 96 percent in November 2004."

In the generic congressional poll, the survey found Americans plan to vote for Democrats over Republicans, 49% to 35%.
