Poll: DeLay Losing Support in Own District

Saturday, January 14, 2006

(01-14) 18:37 PST HOUSTON (AP) --


Barely one of every five of former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's constituents would vote for him if the election were held now, according to a newspaper poll released Saturday.


The Republican congressman, who lost his leadership post because of felony money laundering charges against him, trailed Democratic rival and former congressman Nick Lampson in his southeastern Texas district, according to the poll of 560 registered voters conducted for the Houston Chronicle.


In polling conducted Tuesday through Thursday, 22 percent of respondents said they would vote for DeLay, 30 percent chose Lampson and 11 percent favored Republican-turned-independent former congressman Steve Stockman.


DeLay's spokeswoman Shannon Flaherty challenged the validity of the poll and said the result is "contrary to the strong support we're seeing for Congressman DeLay throughout the district."
