Oh, this is a new low (H/T Drudge): Congressional Approval Falls to Single Digits for First Time Ever today:
This month, just 9% say Congress is doing a good or excellent job.
Most voters (52%) say Congress is doing a poor job, which ties the record high in that dubious category.
...Voters not affiliated with either party are the most critical of
Congressional performance. Just 3% of those voters give Congress
positive ratings, down from 6% last month. Sixty-three percent (63%)
believe Congress is doing a poor job, up from 57% last month.
Just 12% of voters think Congress has passed any legislation to improve
life in this country over the past six months. That number has ranged
from 11% to 13% throughout 2008. The majority of voters (62%) say
Congress has not passed any legislation to improve life in America.
What I find so puzzling is that according to the pundits, an increase in Congressional seats by Democrats is predicted for this November.
We are at an all time low in voter approval with the Democrats in control, but polls show Democrats are still favored? From Rasmussen:
Despite these negative attitudes towards Congress, Democrats continue to enjoy a double digit lead on the Generic Congressional Ballot.
The Rasmussen survey hit the nail on the head,
Most voters (72%) think most members of Congress are more interested in
furthering their own political careers. Just 14% believe members are
genuinely interested in helping people.
The blame can be spread over both parties, but being a conservative, I find some Republicans more tolerable. It must be very frustrating to be one of the 14%.
I think we should just let the Congress take longer vacations. It is the only time I don't have to worry about what they are up to in Washington! If voters don't wake up soon, that may be the best solution. ; )
