Seems low to me.

[Cowboy Bob]

Yeah, but since when do voters decide upon choosing their representatives? /sarc

[Mouton]

His backers on K street will ignore this completely.

[billorites]

Of course, it doesn't matter that Boehner is unpopular with the Republican electorate.

It only matters that he garners a majority of the Republican caucus vote.

He may be unpopular with many of them as well, but they'll likely hold their noses and vote for him.

Like him or not, I thought Klavan's analysis yesterday was spot on.

Far too low.

Perhaps the 60% refers to those who only want a few days of torture for the slimeball before we send his ashes into the sun.

[4rcane]

only 60%? 40% either don’t pay attention or are big government types

[ZULU]

What is wrong with the other 40%? Have they been living in a fishbowl??

[KC_Conspirator]

Pat Caddell cracks me up. There are times when he really gets grass roots correct, and this is one of them.

[Brandonmark]

11% strongly supporting Boehner

Wow there are still 11% in the idiot class!

[Hostage]

From another thread:

Marsha Blackburn should be asked unofficially if she would be willing, and if she says yes, then she should remain quiet while Conservatives prepare to appoint her.

She has the right experience and the right stuff to ascend to Speaker.

And it is important that Conservatives put her name out there while she shuns the cameras and mics. But Conservatives must know ahead of time that she’s willing to accept.

I just called my rep to point this polls out. Do the same with your pubbie Rep.

[deport]

The survey was conducted among self-identified Republicans and independents who say
they lean Republican so the opinions in the poll come from the GOPers around the
country, not the public-at-large.

/*************

The problem is that the vote is not being conducted amongst ‘self-identifed
Republicans and indepenents’ but rather amongst 435 US House of Representative
members. Those 435 will elect the next speaker when they convene for the next session.

[Raycpa]

Does anyone else poll better?

[Vaduz]

And 100% of the good old boys could care less.

[OKSooner]

" if 29 Republicans decide that they will not vote for Boehner to continue as Speaker, he doesn’t get to be Speaker unless he convinces a Democrat to vote for him. "

Go for it JohnBoy, and let the chips fall where they will...

[monocle]

It has been a long time since the GOP leaders listened to their base and acted accordingly. Conservatives have become the blacks of the GOP.

[Yosemitest]

60 PERCENT ?
Something's WRONG with that poll!
How can that percentage be so low?
I might believe 85 percent want BoneHead gone.

[Ancesthntr]

Add me to the list. We need an aggressive leader in that position, someone willing to confront Obama and NOT get along with the Dems. Boehner isn’t that guy.

[leprechaun9]

Today I send the following to my congressman:

Dear Congressman ___, I have been a resident of (the District) since 1965 and actively served in our local government for over 40 years, including holding elected office and serving as Mayor. I understand the importance of elections and maintain a scorecard on those candidates who I have the option of voting for (or not). Sadly my efforts and those of many others in working for Republican Majorities in the Congress has been nullified by the leadership in the House and Senate. I urge you to vote NO for Boehner as Speaker and will score your vote as the determining factor in the next election for Representative of our District from NJ. Again NO TO BENEDICT GRUBER!

[BuffaloJack]

Only 60%?
I would have thought it would be closer to 95%.
Dump the liberal loving RINO.
