PRINCETON, NJ -- Public approval of the job Congress is doing has dipped to its lowest level of 2006, and is now the worst Gallup has recorded since the closing days of the Democratic majority in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1994.

According to an April 10-13, 2006, Gallup Poll, 23% of Americans approve of the job Congress is doing, while 70% disapprove. The current approval score is slightly below the 25%-27% range seen since January.

The current 23% approval rating for Congress is a near-record low for the institution. Gallup's trend for this question, which started in 1974, shows lower approval scores on only three other occasions: October 1994 (21%), March 1992 (18%), and June 1979 (19%).

1. And let's point out when we talk about it that it's a GOP-controlled

Congress.

2. Perhaps if the did their job

and quit obstructing justice, folks might think differently.

3. Wonder why ??

What have they done to piss off the people so much?

4. It's because they have not served as a check and balance to Bush

They are a rubber stamp, rather than a co-equal branch of government. If the Congress did it's collective job, the worst we be suffering right now would be eternal gridlock, where Bush vetoed every bill that crossed his desk.

7. It's what they haven't done

Do they feel like the employees who has a worthless supervisor, and no matter how much people complain, the boss won't fire the prick because they both belong to the same Lodge?

5. 70% disapprove

that should serve to be a wake up call to these senators and representatives. our voices should not be silenced.

6. I think the wake up call fell on deaf ears..too little too late thingy
