61% Believe Republican Leaders Have Been Protecting Foley |
Rasmussen Reports
61% Believe Republican Leaders Have Been Protecting Foley
October 5, 2006
Former Florida Congressman Mark Foley
Sixty-one percent (61%) of American adults believe that Republican leaders
have been "protecting [Mark] Foley for several years." A Rasmussen Reports
national opinion survey conducted Tuesday and Wednesday nights shows that
only 21% believe that the leadership "just learn[ed] about Foley's problems
last week."
The data supports speculation that this issue could have a devastating
impact on Republican prospects at the polls this fall. Even among
Republicans, 31% believe the GOP leadership has been protecting Foley. Just
under half (46%) of the GOP faithful believe that Congressional leaders just
learned about the problem.
Not surprisingly, Democrats overwhelmingly believe that the Republican
leaders have been protecting Foley for years (84% of Democrats hold that
view).
Perhaps more significant politically, 69% of those not affiliated with
either major party believe that leadership has been protecting Foley. Only
9% of unaffiliated the GOP leaders just learned of the problem last week.
How much of an impact this will have on individual Election 2006 races will
not be known until our next round of polling is complete.
Older Americans, those most likely to vote, are least likely to believe that
Republican leaders just learned about this issue.
The survey also found that just 45% of Americans would allow their son or
daughter to be a Congressional intern. Thirty-five percent (35%) would not,
while 20% are not sure. Higher-income Americans and Investors are more
likely than others to do so.
Sixty-one percent (61%) of Americans say they are following news of the
Foley story somewhat or very closely.
In response to a generic ballot question, 47% of Americans say they will
vote for a Democrat this November and 34% will vote for a Republican. That
13-point advantage is up five from an eight-point edge held by Democrats in
August. See our Election 2006 page for polls on individual Senate races. Our
Senate Balance of Power summary shows 49 seats in the Republican column at
the moment and 49 for the Democrats.
The Foley issue has had little or no impact on President Bush's Job Approval
ratings at this time.

I think that was evident. It's getting worse too. More pages have come

I bet Hastert and Drudge call them all liars. I wonder how

three have started what will probably be a flood.

Who knows? And there are rumors flying that some other congressmen might
be involved too. I'm waiting for the neocons to start screaming "Witch
hunt!"

Yep. That's what I heard too. I believe that we may be seeing a few more
resignations before long. I wouldn't be surprised if there are also some
who`are secretly wishing that they would lose the upcoming election so
they won't have to answer too many embarrassing questions.
