Which I would bet are mostly Democrats, which explains the single-digit ratings.

This is the richest landscape that I have ever seen for third party candidates to get elected. If I were running for Congress the last thing I would want to do is run as a Dem or Rep.

Whoever runs the the Congressional GOP campaigns need to hammer that info home. The GOP is not in charge and that the 2 years that the Dems have been in office have been two of the worst in US history, well maybe not in history but if things continue as is it could end up being the worst.

Sad that people think the republicans are still in control of Congress.

We need to keep getting the word out that the idiots who elected a democrat congress got exactly what they wanted....including the $4.00+ gallon of gas.

If you didn't have conservative forums like FR or conservative blogs like Hot Air, that 48% figure of people not knowing who controls Congress would be much, MUCH higher, which is even more unbelievable.

Their numbers could go negative, and they would still be there.

Exactly! I'd like to see the poll if the question was asked like this:

"Now that the Democrats control Congress, do you approve of the job Congress is doing, or disapprove of the job Congress is doing?"

Evidence of a corrupt NY/DC/Hollywood "news" media, entertainment media, and Madison Avenue propaganda.

This cartel includes Academia, and their propaganda is powerful and effective.

I would bet “more than one beer” that 95% of the Democrats who run for reelection will win.
