That means 89% of Americans think Pelosi/Reid suck!

Congress' rating makes George W. Bush's look absolutely stellar by comparison. Congratulations, Democrats! You must be very proud. :]

Congressional Ratings Hit All-Time Lows, 30% Say Most in Congress Corrupt

Wednesday, June 18, 2008

The percentage of voters who think Congress is doing a poor job has reached its highest level ever recorded since regular tracking began in November 2006. Over half the nation’s voters (52%) now say Congress is doing a poor job, while just 11% give the legislature good or excellent ratings.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that the number of voters giving Congress poor ratings has jumped five points from a month ago. Before this month, the percentage ranking Congressional performance as poor had never exceeded 50%.

The low ratings stem from low expectations for Congress and generally unflattering perceptions of its members. Just 11% of voters believe Congress has passed legislation to improve live in America. Most voters (64%) disagree and believe Congress has done nothing to improve life in America, representing a three-point jump from last month.

And???? Obama's "approval rating" is a heck of a lot higher than Congress'. I'm pretty darn sure that he's a bit more popular than your hero George Bush, but of course approval ratings don't matter when it's your guy that's not faring well.

The American people want our troops out of Iraq, and as long as there are enough Republicans in Congress to keep that from happening, approval ratings will be low.

We'll take care of that Republican problem in the coming election.
