WaPo - "Trust in Congress Gallups to single digits" - Where is the MSM re Boehner's Credibility?

[TomCADem]

With the MSM pushing the narrative regarding President Obama's poll ratings and credibility, here is a poll show that Congress's credibility is at an all time low. You would think that there should be some discussion about Boehner's need to address the credibility of the House, which he runs as Speaker. Yet, instead, he gets to recite his sound bites about the President's approval rating and credibility without anyone asking him about the poll numbers of Congress.

The kind folks at Gallup alerted me to something I should have double checked. Turns out that November poll was from 2012, not last month. So, while Congress didn’t fall as quickly as I thought, car salespeople still beat them on the trust meter.]

Gallup’s new trustworthiness poll has everyone tittering over the low standing of Congress. Just 8 percent of those surveyed Dec. 5 – Dec. 8 rated the ethical standards of members of Congress “very high” or “high.” This shameful low puts them one point behind car salespeople.

But here’s what’s being ignored. Congress is viewed with such contempt that its trustworthiness actually dropped from a similar Gallup survey conducted just a week later. In the poll conducted Nov. 26 – Nov. 29, the federal legislature was viewed by 10 percent of the public to have “very high/high” honesty and ethical standards. Car salespeople were the ones with the 8 percent “very high/high” rating.
