Fifty-two percent of those surveyed in a Newsweek poll say they believe
House Speaker Dennis Hastert was aware of the former Florida Rep. Foley's
inappropriate messages to teenage House pages and tried to cover them up.
Also, 42 percent say they trust Democrats to do a better job of handling
moral values, while 36 percent say they trust Republicans more.
The Newsweek survey says 53 percent of Americans want the Democrats to win
control of Congress next month, including ten percent of Republicans. That
compares to just 35 percent who want the GOP to retain power.
Meanwhile, Rep. Thomas Reynolds, R-N.Y., is trailing behind his Democratic
opponent after being connected to the scandal involving Foley.
The poll, performed by Zogby International for The Buffalo News, showed
businessman Jack Davis leading Reynolds 48 percent to 33 percent.
