WASHINGTON -- Republican Sen. John Ensign’s popularity at home continues to hover in the not-good zone since disclosing his affair, with just 28 percent of Nevadans approving of his job performance, according to a new poll out today from Daily Kos.
One of the more interesting findings, since Ensign admitted the affair with a former staffer, who was the wife of one of his best friends and top aides, is that not quite half the Republicans polled (49 percent) and fewer independents (26 percent) say they approve of Ensign's job. The poll was conducted by Research 2000.
Ensign has been on a tour this summer through Nevada to rehabilitate his image, apologizing to different groups and pledging to do better.
Also today, Nevada Republicans gave the state a first in a Daily Kos poll on political thinking in the state.
Kos says Nevada is the first state it has polled where a majority of Republicans (54 percent) believe Barack Obama was born in the United States.

How many people like Sleazy Harry Reid?
That 26% is his staff, the illiterate and his family.
People may not like Harry Reid either but he wasn't a two faced hypocrite all up in the "Promise Keepers" at the same time banging his best friends wife and having mommy and daddy pay them off so they would shut up.
Ensign is a total scum bag and should resign immediately and spare Nevada any further embarassment.
You going to compare sleazy Harry who called the war "unwinable" and never has an open press conference where u can ask sleaze how he made his money to Ensign?. i say we should have enforceable term limits( Bloomberg) and throw the bums out. Sleaze is not a hypocrite because he never answers questions he doesn't like.
If Ensign resigns, does the governor appoint a replacement or is there a special election?
Does anyone know the answer?
FOURTY SIX PERCENT of Nevada Republicans still believe the Prez is an alien.
And that's a LOW NUMBER, when compared to other states who's Republicans were polled...
Man, if THAT doesn't give one pause for thought.
hey johnnie boy i slept with my best friend / senior staffer's wife, then fired them both when i got caught, then ran to mommy and daddy to fix my boo boo ensign...
tell you what skippy...
why don't you come home to vegas and have a town hall meeting...
hmmm...
then the world will finally get to see some genuine outrage...
not the fake outrage bought by the retarded republicans...
what do you say skippy???
You mean 28 percent, or 28 people (?)
birdiemagnusson: are you on the staff of a democrat elected official or are you a teacher? You simply have too much idle time on your hands. Which is it?
let's take our own poll - I say Ensign is a Repuke and no to him.
MICHAEL;
I am not the winged-wonder you speak of, Sir.
I know that disappoints, harder to mock the bird you despise, whatever. I don't care. capiche, there, Mister Moniker?
My wife is a teacher. Now SHE IS a hard worker.
I, on the other hand, none of YOUR business at any rate, have a more flexible schedule, as it were.
Plantains, anyone?
birdi: you've been tagged (again).
I DO find it interesting that when the neo-nuts run out of arguments of any validity they start pointing fingers and calling names like school-children do. Mike, you are impossible. Have a nice day!
gmag39/birdi: I know you are but what am I?
Nany nany nany!
I hear Mickey Mouse is doing a poll to complete with the daily koz.
Ensign is a sexual predator
He shows what those disgusting "promise keepers" are really about.
"rock,d'sun,henderson,afvet; arent you gonna help this guy? ensigns sinking like a rock!!"
"You mean 28 percent, or 28 people (?)"
"That 26% is his staff, the illiterate and his family."
Y'all dumocrats do know that the same Koolaid poll says that Reids approval rating is at only 8 points higher than Ensign's at 36% and that is without having to deal with an affair.
People just plain do not like Reid or his politics.
he certainly is not a real likeable fellow, nor real popular in his own home state.
he'll STILL clobber the republican once they get out of the gate.
what does THAT tell you about the state of the republican state?
To the bird brains that think I'm dreamin':
If I HAD an alter-ego, it might chirp like the bird.
But there's just one ORIGINAL, I give you my word.
That being said,
GET IT OUT OF YOUR HEAD.
I post under ONE NAME. &
I don't play the Ornithology game.
Got that skippy???
Thats pretty low. Last I heard, Reid had a 37% rating and he hasn't even begun whipping out the big guns.
I don't like Harry Reid, but I would vote for him if it meant denying a Republican office. Listening to a Republican speaker on KNPR today reminded me that the Republican's put us in this mess and the liberals need time to show what they can do for this country. Already a second great depression has been avoided and recovery seems to be coming far faster than my predictions.
I wish Ensign would say something about family values so I can yell "Tu Quoque!" people who attack him for that.
Oh Nance, just a month or two ago you were so proud that Ensign's poll numbers were a whopping 3% above Reid's. Now an 11-point swing downward is no big deal?
You're wobblier than Jello!
Eh, Senator Ensign will be just fine. He's a great legislator that made a marital mistake. He is and always will represent Nevada well. The approval rating will rise, trust me.
More importantly, our loser Senator Harry Reid is beaten by both opposition candidates. Now that is great news! Nevada is so ready for new leadership in Washington.
How come Sean Insannity doesn't make reference to these numbers? He cited Kos numbers about Reid?
Anybody who believes that President Obama was NOT born in Hawaii has a few screws loose.
Sen. Ensign is toast. Now, if he had been a Democrap and screwed a staffer he chances for re-election would have been improved.
I wonder when California is going to run out of forests to burn.
"Anybody who believes that President Obama was NOT born in Hawaii has a few screws loose."
There are far more nutty Dumocrats with loose screws that either believe that Bush was behind 9/11 or that 9/11 was not real or that Bush knew that 9/11 was going to happen and did nothing.
Dumocrats are full of nutty people.
you like polls? 51 percent of the USA says out of Afghanistan, the French, Germans, Brits and other allies in the conflict say out by the same percentage or more. And 59% of Americans don't like Limpbaugh.
