Just how popular do you think the Commie in chief is? Sure the Congress gets the worst approval in a century, but it was THE DEM Congress that did that. With the help of a few RINOs.
But remember this comes from the LA Times.
It's the LA Times and their ilk who have done everything in their power to foster the belief that congress has been controlled by the pubbies since Obama was emaculated. They hide the fact that both the house and senate was run by the hard left for 2 years, and how since the senate has been run by Dingy Harry, not a single budget has been passed.
I read an article stating that most people believe that it's the "republican congress" that's the cause of all the problems, and you can bet that the media and Obama will do all they can to foster this lie through the election.

Same thing from the AP:

The White House believes GOP lawmakers boxed themselves in during the pre-Christmas debate on the tax break and will be hard-pressed to back off their own assertions that it should continue through the end of 2012.
Once that debate is over, the White House says, Obama’s political fate will no longer be tied to Washington.
“Now that he’s sort of free from having to put out these fires, the president will have a larger playing field. If that includes Congress, all the better,” said Josh Earnest, White House deputy press secretary. But, he added, “that’s no longer a requirement.”
Aides say the president will not turn his back on Congress completely in the new year. He is expected to once again push lawmakers to pass elements of his jobs bill that were blocked by Republicans last fall.
If those efforts fail, the White House says, Obama’s re-election year will focus almost exclusively on executive action.
Earnest said Obama will come out with at least two or three directives per week, continuing the “We Can’t Wait” campaign the administration began this fall, and try to define Republicans in Congress as gridlocked and dysfunctional.
