2008 Presidential election is anybody's game
Congress Approval Rating Matches Historical Low
The decline in congressional job approval could merely reflect the cessation of any public good will it engendered when the new leadership arrived in January, since the current 18% rating is similar to what it was in December 2006 (21%).
But, it could also reflect disappointment with the new Congress' performance (especially among Democrats) and economic unease.
Hmmm, the Dems were certainly smug after their midterm elections, and now they find themselves 14 percentage points lower than the POTA in approval ratings. Apparently, the majority party in this country can't stand success. All anyone is capable of is mean-spirited rhetoric with no concrete ideas on how to fix anything. Sounds like the theme of the current Presidential campaign.
