Chronicle poll shows DeLay support waivering

A criminal indictment and continuing investigations have severely eroded support for U.S. Rep Tom DeLay in his district, most notably among Republicans who have voted for him before, according to a Houston Chronicle poll.

Only half of those who cast ballots for DeLay in 2004 said they would do so again. And while 25 percent still aren't sure whom they will vote for, 18 percent have defected to other candidates.

Responding to the poll today before details were released, DeLay's spokeswoman said the result is "contrary to the strong support were seeing for Congressman DeLay throughout the district."

The poll of 560 registered voters in the 22nd Congressional District was conducted Tuesday through Thursday amid perhaps the roughest period of DeLay's political career.

1. Music to my ears

"Both pollsters say DeLay is likely to win the Republican primary, but not unscathed."

The only thing I fear is that he won't win his primary race. He has got to win his primary race and be the republican candidate. I want to beat Tom DeLay at the polls and if he survives the primary, we'll have seven more months to tar and feather him before we kick his ass in the election.
