Contrary to what the media and the Democrats might think, recent polling suggests that the Republican Party is united behind the President and the GOP.

According to a Public Opinion Strategies poll, 85% of Republican
voters approve of the job the President is doing and 51% of Republican voters say they “strongly” approve of the job he is doing.

A Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll found that who voted for the President in November 2004 would cast their ballot for him again today. 90% of Republicans would vote for him again today, compared to 93% who voted for him on Election Day. The independent vote was virtually identical to how it was on election night.

There's also good news for 2006. A Public Opinion Strategies poll found that 85% of Republican voters say they would vote for the Republican candidate on the generic Congressional ballot... This is good new for candidates running for reelection.

The poll also found that Repubilcan voters are motivated early and more motivated than their Democratic counterparts. On a scale of 1-10, 72% of "Strong Republicans" rate their interest in the 2006 election as a “10” while only 67% of "Strong Democrats", rate their interest as a “10.”

So, while many on the left think the GOP isn't doing so great these days reality paints a very different picture...
