Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
WASHINGTON, May 11 (UPI) -- Republican support for the Bush administration has fallen by 13 percent in the past two weeks based on spending policies, The Washington Post reported Thursday.
The decline was noted by the Gallup polling organization, and the newspaper said reflects disenchantment with "out of control" spending, a failure to tighten immigration laws and restrict same-sex marriage, and putting an end to the Iraq war.
"Conservatives forgave Bush and Congress for our past mistakes because the war on terrorism was so important ... but now there is a great deal of unhappiness," said Rep. Tom Feeney, R-Fla. "What you are going to increasingly see is a divided Republican Party."
However, Frank Newport of the Gallup Organization cautioned against reading too much into Bush's recent loss of conservative support. He said the numbers tend to ebb and flow and must be confirmed over several months before concluding Bush has suffered irreversible erosion.
