Republican right abandoning Bush
45 percent of self-described conservatives disapprove of president

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12643666/

WASHINGTON - Angry conservatives are driving the approval ratings of President Bush and the GOP-led Congress to dismal new lows, according to an AP-Ipsos poll that underscores why Republicans fear an Election Day massacre.

Six months out, the intensity of opposition to Bush and Congress has risen sharply, along with the percentage of Americans who believe the nation is on the wrong track.

The AP-Ipsos poll also suggests that Democratic voters are far more motivated than Republicans. Elections in the middle of a president’s term traditionally favor the party whose core supporters are the most energized.

9. Just so you're aware....

.... In Ohio, Republicans turned out for their primary in greater numbers than Democrats.

Maybe because their primary race was more contentious than ours. Maybe because some Dems crossed over to affect the GOP primary.

But, in anycase, the Dems were not so energized in the primary to overcome whatever was bringing out GOP primary voters.
