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.

What would really be hilarious is a video of the “pollsters” asking people exactly why they disapprove of Congress. I doubt many of them could come up with anything other than, “Well, I heard it on the TV”.

Thanks for posting those. I’m stealing them. The next time someone tells me that Congress has a 10% approval rating, I’m going to show them those graphs and asked them who they voted for during the last election.

Those numbers will go way up once Congress repeals Zerocare. Thanks Jean S.

Theres no such thing as a do nothing congress.

Huh??

Actually, it's VERY subjective, based upon the eye (and political party) of the beholder. In the long run, the taxpayers benefit the most from a "do-nothing Congress".

Yep, and BO, the marxist pig in the WH, is fueling the contempt for congress. Think about it—if not for repubs and 3 honest dems in congress, BO would reign supreme and even more destruction of the country and wealth redistribution to other countries would have occurred by now. Thank God we have a congress that is there to fight the marxist mongrel from Chicago.

[Neoliberalnot]

Bingo for Obongo.

[StevieRay20]

I absolutely agree. What I am referring to is that the House is not in “Do Nothing” mode like Obama says nonstop. The Senate just labels everything they pass as dead on arrival. Then the media blames “Congress” for not getting anything accomplished without mentioning it is Harry Reid and his minions that are responsible.
