Seems about right to me. Gallup polling asked "Do you approve or disapprove of the way Congress is handling its job?"
Of the 1,024 adults polled, only 17% approved of Congress' job performance. Sorted by political identification, only 28% of Republicans approved of the job Congress has been doing while a whopping 7% of Democrats thought the same of the august body.
In trying to put lipstick on a pig, the polling organization noted that the legislature's approval "has been relatively stable since January" and that it has been "fluctuating between 15% and 20% during that time." I guess you have to find your silver lining no matter where it might be, right? (Fine, fine... I know I mixed my metaphors. So sue me. ;-)
Just a note: the vast majority of members of Congress will be reelected this coming November. So while your member of Congress may suck, at least in my opinion, I'm pretty sure mine is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Ummmm...
"Politics is just show business for ugly people."
