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.
