A new poll shows Rep. Tom DeLay, R-Texas is declining in popularity among voters in his home state. In fact, barely one of every five of former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's constituents would vote for him if the election were held now, according to a poll released on Saturday.

According to the Houston Chronicle

DeLay spokeswoman Shannon Flaherty told the Chronicle its poll results are "contrary to the strong support we're seeing for Congressman DeLay throughout the district."

The telephone poll of 560 registered voters in the DeLay's district was conducted Tuesday through Thursday -- days after DeLay said he would not try to reclaim his former position as House majority leader. He was forced to resign the leadership position after he was indicted in Texas last year.
