Interesting how most reactionaries love to laud the likes of Morris and Drudge, and Goldberg and God know what else critters slithering through the primordial ooze of conservative realpolitik. Now I know no one believe polls offer any kind of insight into anything 'cept what they're predisposed to but i thought i'd post this anyway...it's kinda cute: <<Hyde's home base wavers Poll finds lukewarm DuPage support for Clinton prosecution By Rick Pearson and Ted Gregory Washington Bureau January 30, 1999 Congressional Republicans who believe they are appealing to their constituencies by continuing the impeachment trial of President Clinton should take pause at the results of a new Tribune Poll. In DuPage County, one of the nation's most staunchly Republican regions, voters have been turned off by U.S. Rep. Henry Hyde's performance as head of the House prosecution team, and more than a third of them say they now have a lower opinion of the veteran congressman as a result. Just three months after the DuPage Republican won re-election with 67 percent of the vote, only 53 percent of the poll respondents in Hyde's district said they had a favorable opinion of him, while just 52 percent of all DuPage voters say they approved of the way he has handled the impeachment process. Meanwhile, nearly 60 percent of the voters in DuPage, which traditionally produces one of the nation's largest pluralities for Republican candidates, approve of the job Clinton has done as president, and more than half believe he should stay in office. Given the option, nearly 6 in 10 DuPage voters said they would be satisfied if Clinton were merely reprimanded or censured. And a resounding 89 percent said Republicans in Washington should work with Democrats to resolve the impeachment issue, the poll found.>>>
