PRINCETON, NJ -- A record-low 10% of Americans approve of the job Congress is doing, down from 13% in January and the previous low of 11%, recorded in December 2011. Eighty-six percent disapprove of Congress, tying the record high for disapproval set in December.

Yep, we don’t like the Democrat controlled Senate!
What is the rate for returning these incumbents - something like 90%. Yea, they are really worried about that poll.
Just this morning a detailed list of the ear marks where these butt holes have been helping themselves and their family members was posted here. Everyone of those scum listed need to resign.
Congress sucks! But my congressman is OK because he brings home the bacon. /s
And therein lies the problem... most people being surveyed probably think, "Well, my representative is OK... but those other 434 guys stink!"
Those idiots out there have fallen for it hook, line, and sinker!
Yes, It seems that we have lost the “United States as a Republic” battle.
We have so many corrupt Democrats in office that it seems to be insurmountable. We have so many corrupt Republicans in office that it seems insurmountable.
When both parties are corrupt and the people (over 50%) are benefiting from their largess...can there be any change?
Compromise. The concession that keeps on taking.
By comparison that should be about 5 times the job approval rating of The Won.
On the bright side, the 2012 elections, for most of them will look like happy hour.
There must be a way to prevent their collecting their pensions for the damage done to all American taxpayers, for decades, now.
And, you notice how worried they are about it, too!! Yep, they're losing a LOT of sleep over this.
/sarc
Here's the deal: I have posted this before - WE are the insane ones because WE keep doing the same thing over and over (reelecting the same people to the same offices in Washington) and, each time WE do, WE expect a different result!!!
If WE want to change the behavior of our electd representatives in Washington, WE must FIRST change our own behavior and STOP voting for incumbents!!!
Theres no such thing as a do nothing congress. There is a do nothing Senate, which the media never talks about. This allows Obama to blame a “Republican led” Congress
In my district, we had taxation without representation for over a year, while the leftists paraded their puppet around. And, they did it because of the idiots who worship politicians and “the state,” instead of God, family, country.
They should save their time and money when the results so clearly fly in the face of reality.
This is a totally meaningless poll. Rephrase the question like this:
“Do you expect to vote for the Congressman who currently represents your district.”
And you will get 80% or better approval. People don’t hate their Congressman, they hate yours.
do-nothing Senate and a cave-in GOP House
Look at the demographics of those 10%-ers. Those are the people with motivation to participate in political activities today. They have the money and the time.
Yep...everyone hates congress and assumes it is the other peoples senators and congressmen that are to problem and they vote their ‘ok’ guy or gal back into office.
Just say NO to Incumbents regardless of party.
We only can influence 4 people in DC, the president, two senators and your congressman.
