New Low: Only 6% of Americans Approve of Congress
December 02, 2013
The American people like car salespeople better than Congress. A new Economist/YouGov.com poll shows that six percent of people approve of Congress.
As the Washington Examiner’s Paul Bedard notes, a December 2012 Gallup poll compared what people thought of Congress to what they thought of other occupations. The answers were that 8 percent of people approved car salespersons, while 10 percent approved of Congress.
52 percent of people dislike Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Â 54 percent dislike his Republican counterpart, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, according to the Economist/YouGov poll.
The disapproval crosses partisan lines. Â A do-nothing Congress is not winning over the American people.
