Congressional Approval Sinks to Record Low

Obama's 41% doesn't look too shabby compared to that.

Not surprising. 535 people who can't make decisions for the benefit of the country but rather make decisions based on political necessity, at the detriment of the country.

Oh well, 2014 elections are about a year away and 468 of them will be up for election again. We'll see if anything changes between now and then.

Bad part about elections in the US though is that more often than not, we are voting not for the best candidate, but we are voting against the worst one.

I don't put too much stock in Congressional approval numbers. Every district loves their guy and hates everyone else.

Might start putting more stock. As of a month ago, 60% are saying "boot the lot of them". That number has probably risen since then.

I'm in the 40% then. I'll be voting to reelect Al Franken next Nov.

Everyones politician is bad except their own. Which is why they all get reelected.

Congress hasn't had a positive approval rating in the past 10 years. I'm in the "boot the lot of them" camp.

It feels like congress and politicians in general are setting new records like they're going out of fashion.

It's voting for the lesser of 2 evils unforunately. I think that's why more and more people aren't voting.
