Congress, meanwhile, remains exceedingly unpopular, with just 16 percent approving of the job Congress is doing. That roughly matches where Congress' job approval rating stood last May, before the midterm elections. Last month, Congress' approval rating was at 21 percent.
Seventy-five percent of Americans - three in four - say they disapprove of the job Congress is doing. That's up from 66 percent last month.
Congress is 90% to blame for all of society's ills. I'm surprised that approval number isn't lower.
It is sinking still. It was over 20% just a month ago. It spiked when GOP took over in January, but the reality is sinking in and people realize nothing is changing.
The GOP? Congress is more than just the GOP... 16% approval rating... keep in mind the approval rating has always been low even when democrats were in control... the dangerous thing about approval rating is if you do your job based on approval ratings, you are negligent on your job...

Still, not surprising at all. Right now they are deadlocked with a R house and a D senate. If they were both R or both D, at least half the country would be happy but as it stands, nobody is happy and compromise isn't an option.
[LEFT]"Seventy percent of Americans say the country is on the wrong track -- the highest percentage since Mr. Obama first took office. Just 26 percent say it is headed in the right direction. Only 19 percent say the economy is in good condition, while 80 percent say it is in bad condition."
Personally I cant stand the Republicans or the Democrats, they are equally self serving scum.
