Guess I'm not the only one.
PRINCETON, NJ -- Public approval of the job Congress is doing has dipped to its lowest level of 2006, and is now the worst Gallup has recorded since the closing days of the Democratic majority in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1994.
According to an April 10-13, 2006, Gallup Poll, 23% of Americans approve of the job Congress is doing, while 70% disapprove. The current approval score is slightly below the 25%-27% range seen since January.
The current 23% approval rating for Congress is a near-record low for the institution. Gallup's trend for this question, which started in 1974, shows lower approval scores on only three other occasions: October 1994 (21%), March 1992 (18%), and June 1979 (19%).
Thanks go to georgia10 at Kos for pointing this out. She also had another interesting bit of information- you can't blame the Democrats.
An analysis of all Senate roll call votes in the first three months of 2006 –the second session of the 109th Congress – shows that, true to the form they established last year, the GOP killed almost every piece of legislation proposed by Senate Democrats. Of 83 roll call votes done through the end of March, 35 were authored and sponsored by Democrats. Of those, 31, or an astounding 89 percent were killed by the Republicans, with the vast majority of those on strict, party-line votes.
They haven't let Democrats participate in the process. This all falls squarely on the GOP shoulders. Remeber that next time Frist or Bush whines about obstruction.
