apparently, Nevadans think corruption, adultery, hypocrisy and bribery are all ok

New poll reveals Ensign's status sinking

But most Nevadans still say Republican senator should not resign

Sen. John Ensign's status in the eyes of his constituents has further eroded in the last month, as revelations about his extramarital affair with a former staffer have continued to trickle out, according to a new poll by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

A majority of Nevada voters still think Ensign should not resign, though fewer feel that way than did a month ago, according to the poll conducted last week.

But voters are divided about whether the Nevada Republican should seek re-election. And they are troubled by the scandal's many complications, especially the fact that Ensign's mistress was his wife's best friend and that Ensign publicly espoused the importance of family values.

The proportion of Nevadans who had a favorable view of Ensign stood at 31 percent in the poll, down 8 percentage points in the last month and 22 points from before the scandal.
