America disagrees with Andy Card: Casual attire A-OK in the White House

Paddy and I posted about this several times. Now America is chiming in:
Obama Senior Adviser David Axelrod hit back at Card recently, saying that “[w]e’re wearing short sleeves because we have to roll up our sleeves and clean up the mess that we inherited.” According to a new Fox News poll, 68 percent of Americans agree with Obama and Axelrod:

But when Obama decided to ditch the suit coat in the Oval Office some people took offense, such as former White House Chief of Staff Andy Card who said there should be a “dress code of respect” in the White House. The public is a little more button-downed about it: 68 percent are okay with a more “relaxed and casual” dress code, while 26 percent think a coat and tie should be required in the Oval Office.

I don't feel like hunting down the links (okay, just one), but isn't 26% around the same percentage of people who still support Bush, who still support Congressional Republicans, and still support the people who support those people?
