DeLay's in trouble in re-election bid

A new poll released by the Houston Chronicle is sure to alarm supporters of indicted Rep. Tom DeLay (R-TX).

He's represented the district since 1984, but with all his legal and ethical troubles, his voters are turning on him. Only half of those who voted for him in 2004 say they will vote for him again this November.

From the Chronicle article:

DeLay may be able to win back the undecided voters, but he starts with the disadvantage of a 60 percent unfavorable rating in the district he has represented for 20 years. Only 28 percent view him favorably, according to the poll.

That's barely half of the 50 percent favorable rating DeLay received in a poll conducted for the Chronicle last spring by Zogby International.
