Lady DiChiFi MILCON and BabbleOn Boxer continue to benefit from an ignorant and uninformed public for support.

Love the way the Junk Media manufactures their own reality rather then deal with the world as it is.

For 7 months the Democrat Congress did nothing but fight with President Bush on Iraq.

Their approval rating went from 50% to 14% ( and a mind boggleing 3% on the issue of how the Congress is handeling Iraq) Bush approval rating is now back at 40%.

As usual the Politically Corrupted media has it exactly wrong. It not BUSH that is under political pressure on Iraq. After all, he will never be running again while those 58 Democrats who represent districts that voted for Bush more then 51% in 2004 have to run again in 2008.

Going to be pretty tough for any of them to go home and run in 2008 as Reagan 2, like they did in 2006, after they spent 2007 and 2008 being John Kerry Jr in DC.

"they are working hard for the liberal socialist state"

That's more like it.

Disappointed by the slow pace of change in Washington

That first sentence is a complete lie. People are disappointed by what Congress does, not what it doesn't do.

[NRA2BFree]

The poll may also reflect frustration at the pace of change in Congress. With the exception of the minimum wage increase, which Congress passed and President Bush signed, Democratic leaders are making only incremental progress on energy efficiency, expanded health care for children, student loans and other issues.

That's not anything to be proud of. All that hike in pay did was hurt the low income people that they claim they were trying to help. When people get a raise, everyone around them wants a raise too, so they jack the price of rent, groceries, gasoline, etc, and the ones who got the raise, or the ones who were laid off so the higher wages could be met by small business owners actually took a decrease in pay. Democrats just don't understand small businesses.

Approval of the new Democrat-controlled Congress as an institution is down to 20 percent, a few points lower than the rating last year under Republican leadership.

Even this may be a bit optimistic. The last poll I saw (I forget which one it was), just a few days ago, showed Congress's approval at an even more dismal 18 percent.

Of course, I do not know the time frame for the conducting of these two polls, or anything about their respective methodologies. And a two percentage-point difference is rather negligible, anyway--probably within the margin of error.

It is just that an approval rating in the teens seems especially damning--even more so than one in the low 20s.

The 110th Congress is the most immature, whiny, do-nothing, enemy-appeasing bunch of surrender monkeys to ever set foot in the Capitol building. And their approval ratings show it. You’d think they’d take a hint.

[freekitty]

It’s not that Congress doesn’t get it. They have a completely differen agenda than most Americans and that’s to run our country into the ground.

Approval ratings for Congress match historic low. No wonder.

[newzjunkey]

How is it down to 20%? I remember reading it was at a historical low of 18% already.

How they manage to have such high ratings as those I can't imagine!

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

Seeing that it’s a Field Poll, I’m surprised it’s not down from a high of 100% to a record low of 95%.
