A new Washington Post poll shows just 43 percent of Republicans and GOP-leaning independent voters are satisfied with the current field of presidential hopefuls. The poll showed 40 percent were dissatisfied.

Compare that with an April 2007 poll asking the same question: 65 percent were satisfied and 32 percent were dissatisfied.
