Americans are not happy about the the late-night intervention into the Schiavo case by the Republican-led Congress and the Administration.  ABC polling has some wowing numbers (pdf):

Support Removal of Feeding tube:
63% Yes   28% No

Support Federal Intervention?
35% Yes   60% No

Appropriate for Congress to Get Involved?
27% Appropriate   70% Not Appropriate

Reason Political Leaders Are Keeping Schiavo Alive?
19% Concern about Schiavo  67% Political Advantage.

The internals are even more devistatingly against the move, with a whopping 58% "Strongly Opposed" to Congressional intervention in the case.

Looks like the public has got it right, folks.
