The percentage of voters who give Congress good or excellent ratings has fallen to single digits for the first time in Rasmussen Reports tracking history. This month, just 9% say Congress is doing a good or excellent job. Most voters (52%) say Congress is doing a poor job, which ties the record high in that dubious category.
Last month, 11% of voters gave the legislature good or excellent ratings. Congress has not received higher than a 15% approval rating since the beginning of 2008.
The percentage of Democrats who give Congress positive ratings fell from 17% last month to 13% this month. The number of Democrats who give Congress a poor rating remained unchanged. Among Republicans, 8% give Congress good or excellent ratings, up just a point from last month. Sixty-five percent (65%) of GOP voters say Congress is doing a poor job, down a single point from last month.
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. Sixty-three percent (63%) believe Congress is doing a poor job, up from 57% last month.
Just 12% of voters think Congress has passed any legislation to improve life in this country over the past six months. That number has ranged from 11% to 13% throughout 2008. The majority of voters (62%) say Congress has not passed any legislation to improve life in America.

Bless their little hearts!
Don’t get mad... get even :-)
Because they are part of the corrupt "Two-Party Cartel" which get their marching orders from the same elites & have lost their core values, Getting along with elites is more important than doing what their constituents want & their constituents will sadly vote them back in.
LoL...The Iraq war is 5x’s more popular than Congress.
In a rational society there would be a correlation ... but we've long since ceased to be a rational society.
These same Congress critters who have such low approval ratings, somehow manage to get re-elected term after term.
Whose fault is that?
Just like the post office, and their service sucks, also.
Hmm, interesting point. Sad thing is the republicans aren’t doing much better than the dems.
While these two socialist amateurs posture and prance in the Congress of The United States, and millions of deluded, imbecilic citizens look to the new messiah, Barack Hussein, the nation slides more rapidly into the hole these lousy politicians have dug.
This month, just 9% say Congress is doing a good or excellent job.
"Ha-Ha, Told You So!"
It’s the Drilling Nothing Congress.
"Worst Congress ever."
On election night 2006, we were identified (polled) as the party of Big Government. It cost us the House, cost us the Senate, and I see they've done nothing to correct that image.
9% positive rating. And yet both of our presidential contenders are congressmen.
Sweet Mother Mary do these guys suck!
“Who the hell are these 9%?”
Mom, dad, and various mistresses.
The NRCC and the NRSC need to get the message out that Congress is run by leftist Democrats, otherwise we will take a hit for their incompetence.
Amen!
Members of Congress, Congressional staff, and their immediate families.
Hahaa! I knew they could reach single digits!! The libs really have no room to complain about Bush’s approval rating, which is roughly 4 times higher than that of Nancy’s Congress.
