Not feeling particularly high on Congress? Join the crowd. A Gallup poll conducted July 8-11 has public confidence in Congress down to 11 percent, the lowest score in its "Confidence in Institutions" survey since 1973.

Congress has even pissed off the crazy people...

That might be the best post of the day.

After some thought I believe this poll was fixed...shouldn’t it be -11 %?

[EBH]

The 11% are a minority.

If 89% disapprove...then why is Congress running around loose?

Congress should just start at zero and try to improve from that point.

That would be unfair. I think this is one of those feel good classes where the teacher begins the school year by saying "everyone starts with an A" and they are doing thi "good."

Even when we've lowered the standards and dumbed down the electorate they are still performing worse than if none of them bothered to show up...... and San Fran Nan is at the head of the class.

Where were these classes when I was in school? They had the gall to actually make me work for my grades!

Bye, Bye Nancy.

Don't hold your breath. The moonbat liberals in her district will vote for her again without question.

On the other hand, she may as well kiss that gavel good-bye.

Well, a teacher who makes pupils work for grades will today be summarily sent packing. And the pupils will feel empowered that they have prevailed in their “knowledge.”

[Theodore R.]

You are suggesting things that will never be with our CLP, cowardly little party.

Breaking News: Percentage of those in Congress who give a damn about the publics confidence: 0%.

and we'll re-elect 'em...

[Blood of Tyrants]

Never say never. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

11%? Can’t imagine why... /s

I guarantee you that tomorrow the news stories are going to be including "Republican obstructionism" as one of the major contributing factors for this low approval.

These numbers have got to be bogus. There’s no way that so many congresscritters would survive 11% ratings in the next election. Pollsters aren’t smart enough to figure out that when they call someone, it’s “cool” to say you disapprove of your congressman.
