Congress’ Approval Rating drops Below President Bush’s Approval Rating

 A new Gallup Poll finds continued low levels of public support for both Congress and President George W. Bush. Twenty-nine percent of Americans approve of Congress, down slightly from last month’s reading (33%) and this year’s high point of 37%, while Bush’s approval rating is holding steady at 33%.

How can this be? I thought we sent president Bush a message last November. I thought the new congress was carrying out the will of the people.

According to the May 10-13, 2007, Gallup Poll, 29% of Americans approve and 64% disapprove of the way Congress is handling its job. Congressional approval is down 4 percentage points since last month, and is 3 points lower than the 32% average measured during the first five months of the year.

The truth is the American people don’t want defeat in Iraq and these poll numbers show that. The Democrats campaigned on the Republican culture of corruption, now we are seeing the Democrats that have been caught in the culture of corruption.

They campaigned with no ideas. They waited until George W Bush took a side on an issue and then took the opposite side. Opposition is not a campaign platform. The American people are seeing how void of ideas the Democrats are now that the have to legislate.
