‘In June 2009, 51 percent had a great deal or a lot of confidence in the presidency, a number that has now fallen to 36 percent.’

11% lowest ever. It is historic, eh?

But if you were to take the average of what people think of their own rep it would be much higher. Everybody likes their own crook, but not the crooks that represent others.

We can point our fingers at Senator Majority Leader Harry Reid and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi explain why Congress has a 11% rating.

Eleven percent. ±4 percentage points. And, the hemorrhoids in DC continue to promote and pass legislation We The People don’t want. This should be a Big Flashing Warning Sign.
