Oh, and I don’t agree with your point about the main supporters not realizing the administration’s policies aren’t conservative. On the contrary I think most of us republicans are very unhappy with the administration and as a result the party is going to suffer at the polls in November.

I was thinking about your post, and remembered this site which summarizes political polls:

http://www.pollingreport.com

CBS/New York Times Poll Sept 15-19th:

"Do you approve or disapprove of the way George W. Bush is handling the situation with Iraq?"

Among Republicans, 69% approve, 27% disapprove, and 4% unsure compared to 11% approve, 86% disapprove, and 3% unsure for Democrats, and 62%, 32%, and 6% among Independents. Although this question has been asked for years, they unfortunately they don't list the values broken down by party, so its impossible to track support by party.

Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg Poll Sep. 16-19:
"Would you say the country is better off because of George W. Bush's policies and should proceed in the direction he set out, or do you think the country is not better off and needs to move in a new direction?"

The president enjoys a 74% approval rating among Republicans on this one, compared to the 69% approval rate specifically on the handling of Iraq.

I'm not trying to read anything specific into these numbers, but if anyone knows of a tracking poll that records Bush support broken down by party please let me know.
