NewsMax strikes out again.

The major media DID report this. They just buried it in this article named "Poll: Bush approval mark nears low".

All respondents were also asked whether they would change the filibuster and/or preserve it.

Thirty-five percent sided with changing Senate rules, 19 percent agreed on keeping the filibuster, and 34 percent wanted filibuster rules to remain intact but for nominees to receive a full Senate vote.

Thirty-five percent in favor of changing senate rules + 34% in favor of keeping the rules but voting on the nominees = 69% opposed to Dem filibuster.

A word of advice. Fact check anything you get from News Max.

"Thirty-five percent sided with changing Senate rules, 19 percent agreed on keeping the filibuster, and 34 percent wanted filibuster rules to remain intact but for nominees to receive a full Senate vote."

The way I read it, that means only 19% support the use of a filibuster by the 'Rats to block votes on judicial nominees. Which means the Seven Dwarves COULD be in trouble if Americans can turn away for a few minutes from "Depraved Housewives", the Superbowl, and the World Series and think about the next vote.
