NEWSWEEK: How low can the Republicans go? |
The president’s approval rating has fallen to a new all-time low for
the Newsweek poll: 33 percent, down from an already anemic 36 percent
in August.

How low can the Republicans go?
Web Exclusive
By Marcus Mabry
Newsweek
Come hell or high water-ran the conventional wisdom-Republicans could
rely on two issues to win elections: the war on terror and values.
Then came Mark Foley.
The drip-drip-drip of scandal surrounding the former Congressman from
Florida, which became a deluge this week, now threatens to sink
Republican hopes of keeping control of Congress, says the NEWSWEEK
poll out today.
And that was the good news for the GOP.
More worrisome still, the Foley fiasco is jeopardizing the party’s
monopoly on faith and power.
For the first time since 2001, the NEWSWEEK poll shows that more
Americans trust the Democrats than the GOP on moral values and the war
on terror.
Fully 53 percent of Americans want the Democrats to win control of
Congress next month, including 10 percent of Republicans, compared to
just 35 percent who want the GOP to retain power.
If the election were held today, 51 percent of likely voters would
vote for the Democrat in their district versus 39 percent who would
vote for the Republican.
And while the race is closer among male voters (46 percent for the
Democrats vs. 42 percent for the Republicans), the Democrats lead
among women voters 56 to 34 percent.
The pace of the news on the Foley scandal is making it difficult for
Republicans to stop their slide.
On Thursday, House Speaker Dennis Hastert declared that mistakes were
made in handling the Foley case and that he would remain in his post
to make sure the misdeeds were thoroughly investigated.
Almost immediately, ABC News reported that three more former pages had
come forward to say that they had received suggestive e-mails and
instant messages from Foley.
And just as Republicans were attempting to form a united front to
paint the timing of the Foley revelations as Democratic dirty
tricks-What did Nancy Pelosi know and when did she know it?-the
Republicans got a fratricidal shot out of the dark-on Iraq.
Virginia Republican Sen. John Warner declared that the United States
had 90 days to quell the violence in Iraq, or risk losing the war.
To top it off, on Friday an aide to Karl Rove resigned over the Jack
Abramoff influence-peddling and corruption scandal.
Meanwhile, the president’s approval rating has fallen to a new
all-time low for the Newsweek poll: 33 percent, down from an already
anemic 36 percent in August.
Only 25 percent of Americans are satisfied with the direction of the
country, while 67 percent say they are not.

Who _are_ these traitor 33% rightards, any way? The fact that this
fascist regime has _any_ defenders and supporters indicates a serious
flaw in humanity in general.

and another nail in their coffin/
Many Republicans and non-partisan analysts believe that the damage
done by the scandal to the party's hopes in November could be
irreparable, whether the Speaker stays or goes. Until last week
Republicans had been staging a modest comeback, in line with Mr Bush's
own rise in the polls, amid hopes that they might after all cling on to
control of the House, considered the chamber most vulnerable to a
Democratic takeover. Now, some experts believe the Democrats could
capture not only the 435-member House, where they need a net gain of
just 15 seats, but also the Senate, where the 55-45 Republican majority
has been considered almost impregnable.
