Less than nine percent of Americans trust Congress
A nine percent approval rating and these are the people we’re expecting will fix our health care problems? Give me a break.
This month’s release of Rasmussen Reports’ survey of congressional approval ratings serves a scathing reproach of politicians on Capitol Hill. For the first time since Rasmussen has been tracking congressional approval ratings, less than 10 percent of Americans say Congress is doing a good or excellent job.
Against President Bush’s much-publicized poor approval ratings, today’s poll shows Congress’ numbers have plunged to less than a third of the president’s.
The most recent report calculates a mere 9 percent approve of congressional performance, while a majority of Americans, 52 percent, say Congress is doing a poor job, which also ties a record high.
I cannot understand how we think these criminals are going to make anything better. They’re the least trusted group of decision makers in the country. We could throw them all out and start over, but how? These people control our lives and they aren’t going to gracefully bow out just because a few hundred million serfs are feeling unhappy.
Servants don’t tell masters what to do.
