To be clear, this is a poll of DeLay's district, TX-22.

I wish they had polled Nick Lampson, since it's not as if we don't have a clear challenger to DeLay. And a generic "Democrat" may poll better than an actual living, breathing, human being.

But in any case, this is glorious news. DeLay is worrying about retaining his leadership position. At this rate, that'll be the least of his concerns.
