13% approval rating, congress. Guess everyone must be happy! Should be an
Obama opportunity!

"Americans' frustration with Congress has reached historic levels, with 13% approving and 84% disapproving of the job it is doing, tying the low approval rating and establishing a new high disapproval rating by one percentage point. Congressional approval is down five points from last month."

2. You know what gets me, often when they ask about ones own congress critter,
they're OK, it's the others that are bad. It would be interesting to see this asked of teabaggers to see what the correlation of likes is to their own teabagger congress critter.

4. Yep, that tells me it doesn't matter which way the switch is flipped. Some
have said we now have the Capitalist Party in congress, I have to agree more and more. Most in congress don't even remotely reflect the financial position of many voters today, and jobs/finances are the major concerns IMO.
