Congress in De-Nile

[jgaffney]

The Hill has this:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) today pointed to President Bush’s unpopularity as an explanation for Congress’s single-digit approval rating.

"Any time you have a president that is down so, so far in poll numbers, it drags down a city councilmember. It drags down any elected official, including us, and we recognize that," Reid said when asked about Congress’s rating.

Rasmussen reported today that Congress’s approval rating has slipped to 9 percent—down two percentage points from last month, and the first-ever single-digit rating for Congress in Rasmussen’s history.

Oh, but it would be so much better with a President Obama! I continue to think that Congressional leaders have pushed Obama up front because he shows well, and he will be easily manipulated from the other end of Pennsylvania Ave.

Yep, a Democratically controlled congress holds the record for the lowest approval rating, for the third time in history.

You know why their numbers are low don't you? We elected them to end Bush's war and right the wrongs that were done by his administration. That hasn't happened as they are biding their time until Obama is elected to make their move.
