Democrat Congress Has Lowest Approval Rating Of All Time
In the Gallup poll, anyway:
If the President feels bad about the nation’s opinion of him—a meager 25% of those surveyed in a June Gallup poll approve of Bush’s performance—all he needs to do is pick up that same poll and keep reading. According to Gallup, just 14% of people express confidence inthe current Congress. That’s the lowest measure in the 34 years Gallup has been tracking government institutions.
I’m sure this will get just as much media attention as Bush’s low approval numbers get.
And yes, nobody likes polls. Everybody questions their accuracy and methodology (including myself). But when the results are this lopsided? Can’t ignore ‘em.
Now liberals like to shrug these numbers off as little more than an indication that Americans are frustrated with the Democrats not being able to stop the war, advance a liberal agenda. I maintain that these numbers prove that America never wanted a Democrat Congress in the first place, and that the only reason the Democrats got the majority in Congress is because Republicans abandoned the limited/transparent government ideals that got them elected in the first place.
