That is an unfortunate number for Mr. DeLay. According to Gallup, his reelect number in his own district — Texas 22nd — is down to 36%.

49% says they’re more likely to vote for the Democratic challenger.

52% of DeLay’s constituents have an ‘unfavorable’ impression of him.

Those numbers aren’t insurmountable for a pol more than willing to go thermonuclear on anyone who runs against him. But they ain’t good. Not good at all.
