It’s Still Only Nine Percent of America That Thinks Congress Is Doing a Good Job

Approval ratings for Congress are still floating around in the toilet bowl like something that just refuses to flush.

A recent Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that only nine percent of voters think Congress is doing a “good” or “excellent” job.

“Good job” got seven percent; “excellent job” got a whopping two percent. In fact, it’s surprising that twenty people could physically bring themselves to say that they think Congress is doing an excellent job out loud to another human being.

And fifty-nine percent of the country thinks Congress totally sucks. Thirty percent of people probably weren’t paying attention when they got the call, don’t know how to form a solid opinion on something regardless, or don’t know what the word “fair” means and probably thought it meant “poor”.

The twenty people who answered that Congress is doing an excellent job are probably family members or staffers… of Congress. Either that, or they don’t speak the language the survey administrator spoke on the phone when they were asked. Or they have been lobotomized. Or they were smoking crack.

Not sure which.
