GOP once again fighting popular opinion

SurveyUSA conducted a poll that finds a clear majority of the country wants House Speaker Dennis Hastert to resign for his role in covering up the Marl Foley predator scandal:

SurveyUSA Poll (10/06-08/06: 1000 Adults Nationwide)

Based on what you know right now, do you think Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert should remain in his position as the Speaker of the House?  Do you think he should resign as Speaker of the House but remain a member of Congress?  Or do you think he should completely resign from Congress?

Remain Speaker - 26%
Resign Leadership - 20%
Resign From Congress - 45%
Not Sure - 9%

It's not the scandal, it's the cover-up that comes back to bite politicians.  Most Americans don't want Hastert to get away with it.

And 47% are just happy that he hasn't eaten their children yet.
