Oh, I was wrong: it was Gallup.

Read it and weep:

The first result is that the Republican Party is more unified than ever before. Ninety-one percent of Republicans approve of the job President Bush is doing. In 1992, Bush's father didn't have anything like that level of support, and even the Reagan administration was split between so-called pragmatists and ideologues.

Today's Republicans not only like Bush personally, they also overwhelmingly support his policies. According to a Pew Center study, 85 percent of Republicans support the war in Iraq, 82 percent believe that pre-emptive war is justified, and 72 percent believe the U.S. is justified in holding terror suspects without trial.

From this article in the New York Times: The Bush Democrats

And since your reply to me sounded a lot bit like you were accusing me of making it up -- and so I'll know you know -- I make it a habit not to post things I can't back up.

You mis-stated. The author didn't cite the broad support he claimed, and you fell for it. I don't.
