Rude Awakening: 7 in 10 Americans “disapprove of the way Congress is handling its job”

Only 24 % Approve of Democrat Congress: “Ratings As Low As the Current One Are Uncommon” “The honeymoon phase is over for the new Congress, as the public's ratings of Congress are down again this month. The latest congressional job approval rating (24%) is the lowest for the institution since Democrats took control of both houses in January, and is far below the 37% registered in February. The decline has been most evident among Democrats … ratings as low as the current one are uncommon … 71% disapprove of the way Congress is handling its job.” (Gallup, 6/20/07)

Under Democrat Leadership, American People’s Confidence in Congress at “All-Time Low” “New Gallup data show confidence in Congress at all time low. Just 14% of Americans have a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in Congress. This 14% Congressional confidence rating is the all-time low for this measure, which Gallup initiated in 1973. The previous low point for Congress was 18% at several points in the period of time 1991 to 1994. (Gallup, 6/20/07)
