Worst Congress Ever!

Congressional Performance
Congressional Approval Falls to Single Digits for First Time Ever

Rasmussen Reports - Tuesday, June 8, 2008

The percentage of voters who give Congress good or excellent ratings has fallen to single digits for the first time in Rasmussen Reports tracking history. This month, just 9% say Congress is doing a good or excellent job. Most voters (52%) say Congress is doing a poor job, which ties the record high in that dubious category.

Last month, 11% of voters gave the legislature good or excellent ratings. Congress has not received higher than a 15% approval rating since the beginning of 2008.

The percentage of Democrats who give Congress positive ratings fell from 17% last month to 13% this month. The number of Democrats who give Congress a poor rating remained unchanged. Among Republicans, 8% give Congress good or excellent ratings, up just a point from last month. Sixty-five percent (65%) of GOP voters say Congress is doing a poor job, down a single point from last month.

Voters not affiliated with either party are the most critical of Congressional performance. Just 3% of those voters give Congress positive ratings, down from 6% last month. Sixty-three percent (63%) believe Congress is doing a poor job, up from 57% last month.

Just 12% of voters think Congress has passed any legislation to improve life in this country over the past six months. That number has ranged from 11% to 13% throughout 2008. The majority of voters (62%) say Congress has not passed any legislation to improve life in America.

Voters hold little positive sentiment about the future. Just 41% find it at least somewhat likely that Congress will address important problems facing our nation in the near future, while 55% find this unlikely.

Despite these negative attitudes towards Congress, Democrats continue to enjoy a double digit lead on the Generic Congressional Ballot.

Most voters (72%) think most members of Congress are more interested in furthering their own political careers. Just 14% believe members are genuinely interested in helping people.

well that sucks...
i guess i'm not surprised tho, what have they done so far, they renamed a bunch of post offices, raised the min wage a whopping 60 cents, and memorial coins?

"Renamed 9 Post Ofices, 12 Federal Highways and held 300 hearings on Capitol Hill.

Actively leading Energy Independence = 0
SSAN Reform = 0
Border Fence = 0
Health Care Reform = 0
Ending earmarks = 0
Banninhg Pork Barrel Projects = 0
IRS Tax Code Reform = 0
Real Immigration Reform = 0"

$209 billion for increase in food stamps
$35 billion for farmers

a f*cking hate food stamps, and wic, it's the most exploited fed program there is, since unemployment actually requires effort to rely on

Predicatble. They lobbied for votes on an "END THE WAR" platform, then did nothing except continue to blame Bush and his cronies for the war. I guess they figure it better to leave the war as a political football in the Presidentials than act on the promises they made to their constituents.

It's okay. Most are too stupid to realize this is even happening, so what the heck? I've learned that if you expect nothing, you'll never be disappointed.

And that's a sad way to think of our gov't that way! I'm moving to the Mountains, and becoming a Hermit!

+1 Finally someone who gets it. The only layer you are missing are the puppet master corporations who are doing the same to both the Dems and the GOP.
