Check out the results of this Gallup Poll which shows that, even among both parties, the approval ratings of Congress have reached abysmally low levels.

  • As long as I can remember I have never been polled by anyone, who are these polls talking to, and why is it, they are so out of line with reality. I agree there is a disapproval of current congressional actions, but when the polls say the un-elected president has better ratings than the congress, I know it is bull dun! It is without secondary proof that polls are conducted and seems to be the opinions of the reporting parties more than the will of the people.

    Honest journalist are not found in mainstream media nor are the cable pundants professionals or well educated minds. Polls should be taken as if tabloid news more entertainment than educational or beneficial purposes.

  • Yeah, they're doing a whole lot of nothing. Trying to "play it safe" as they say, during the election season. Bunch of spineless hacks. Sellouts.

  • amen, AA.... LAHolly... look at the polls' results, see some of the questions and the summaries at the bottoms of the pages.... no, they didn't poll EVERYONE in the country, but scores of years of polling has shown that you don't need to do that, and with a given size sample, you CAN infer a bigger result, WITH a margin of error, which they clearly state...

    if O versus M is 45-44 +/- 6, you know there's no valid "conclusion" as to who the winner might be, but a 55-45 +/- 3 is way different.

    thanks for reading and commenting!

  • I'm gonna up the ante on this one

    People aren't just upset with Bush and the DHS and all those incompetent, executive controlled branches.

    They're not just upset with the house and the senate and their ABYSMAL and CORRUPT management of this country.

    People are upset with our -bullshit- two parties. Republicans are upset with the Republican party and Democrats are upset with the Democratic party.

    Fuck the corrupt two party system, it's turned our country into a damn oligarchy. The whole government needs reform, top to bottom.

    We don't have problems in this country that can't be solved, we have people that don't want to solve them.

  • "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present [TWO PARTY SYSTEM] is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States."

  • I disapprove of politicians( both obama and mccain and all the rest ) and government period. I'm not an anarchist either, but maybe some form of it is needed in this country now.

  • Congress is doing fine every time they vote for something we want Bush veto's it. So once we get rid of him this country will improve to it greatness it is.
    Stop giving into Bushs demands and threats stand your ground.
