More than two-thirds of evangelicals and conservatives disapprove of the intervention by Congress and President Bush in the case of the Terri Schiavo

Excite News: "Poll: Evangelicals Oppose Gov't on Schiavo | Mar 23, 6:42 PM (ET) | By The Associated Press

More than two-thirds of people who describe themselves as evangelicals and conservatives disapprove of the intervention by Congress and President Bush in the case of the Terri Schiavo, the brain-damaged woman at the center of a national debate.

A CBS News poll found that four of five people polled opposed federal intervention, with levels of disapproval among key groups supporting the GOP almost that high.

Bush's overall approval was at 43 percent, down from 49 percent last month.

Over the weekend, Republicans in Congress pushed through emergency legislation aimed at prolonging Schiavo's life by allowing the case to be reviewed by federal courts. That bill was signed by the president early Monday."
