WOW the Public is really impressed by Congress

[oldelkhunter]

Good job Nutsy Pelosi and Slimey Reid 9% approval ratinghttp://rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/mood_of_america/congressional_performance/congressional_performance

[Lanse couche couche]

In contrast Georgie Boy seems to be holding at about 30%. Unless some bad things happen pretty fast, Jimmy C could remain on the bottom in the rankings.

Whole lot of Republicans contrubuting to that 9% too.

Yes but the Majority is Democrats. You know the bunch that were going to shut down the war in Iraq and every other broken promise they made in 2006.

Yep. Republicans don't like 'em because they're too liberal. The Democrats don't like 'em because they're not liberal enough.

It looks like the Independents are the one's that are REALLY not happy:

"Voters not affiliated with either party are the most critical of Congressional performance. Just 3% of those voters give Congress positive ratings, down from 6% last month."

So they have real bad ratings. Not like they need the public for much anyways. Re-election for an incumbent is practically a slam dunk with name recognition being the deciding factor for many voters.

Sounds like the whole bunch needs a change in career path, but instead let's just play partisan politics so we can find out exactly who is worse (because that's important)

Traditionally I would say you are correct. However, now-a-days people are getting so mad that they're actualy paying attention now. I think soon will see one term sentors and represenatives because people want to see results. It might be wishful thinkin' on my part but I feel like that's the direction we're headed.

I hope you're right TN. Term limits should be mandatory.
