Majority of Americans think Hastert should resign

Sounds like a hostile crowd for the GOP according to the new CNN poll:

- 75% said Republicans took inappropriate steps
- 52% said they believe the GOP leadership didn't investigate the charges earlier because they were deliberately covering the scandal up
- 39% approval for Bush
- 28% approval for Congress
- 58% of likely voters to support Democrats
- 34% think most members of Congress deserve re-election

It doesn't sound as though Americans are interested in staying the course.
