One in every four Democrats now disapproves of the job their own party is doing in Congress, where Democrats control both chambers.
The poll from the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute showed that 25 percent of Democrats said they disapproved of the Democrat majority, while 65 percent approved and 10 percent answered “Don’t Know/Not Applicable.”
Institute Assistant Director Peter A. Brown had a simple explanation for the statistic.
“Everybody hates Congress,” he told CNSNews.com
According to Brown, when a majority party and its president are polling especially poorly, the party eventually has to lose some of its own adherents.
“I mean, the Republicans were in control when Bush’s numbers were really low and lower than Obama’s are,” he said. “My recollection is, Congress’ numbers were even lower than they are now. Look, nobody likes Congress,” he said.
The same poll showed Democrats matching an 18-month low in their overall approval, with just 30 percent of registered voters approving of their performance, and twice as many, 60 percent, disapproving.
The last time Democrats hit that low was in Quinnipiac’s March 25 poll, which contained the last measurement taken before Democratic members of Congress narrowly passed President Obama’s controversial health-care reform bill four days earlier

Only 25% disapprove? Proof that liberalism is a mental illness.
At least most Republicans disapproved of their party’s free-spending between 2002 and 2006. But most Democrats support their Congress, which is much worse. Very sad.
Democrats are stupid. How can anyone be happy with the state of affairs, really?
I blew by disapproval many moons ago.
Now I'm reaching for the tar and feathers....
