The Numbers

Well, despite the Democrat's gleeful predictions about a civil war within the Republican party, the poll numbers seem to show that their dream will have to wait.

Bush's base appeared to remain largely supportive, with 62 percent of respondents who described themselves as conservative approving of his performance, down from 68 percent last month.

Support from moderates fell from 40 percent to 32 percent, and remained about the same for liberals, rising from 14 percent to 17 percent.

And the GOP faithful remained overwhelmingly steadfast in their support, with 84 percent voicing approval, versus 85 percent in last month's poll.

That was not the case among those who identified themselves as Democrats, whose support for Bush dropped from 15 percent to 8 percent.

There are plenty of negatives to be concerned about for a Republican after reading this poll, but the party seems pretty unified still. Somehow though, I doubt we will cease seeing reports across the MSM and the blogsphere about the impending demise of the conservative movement.
