With the exception of the six months after 9-11.

Because there are more in Congress working for the things people really want and is not controlled by the Republicans in all branches of government.

Congress has a higher approval rating now because they finally have the guts enough to stand up to Bush and speak out against his war. The war is not going anywhere and so Congress is trying to get Bush to see that he needs to make some other decisions than the ones he has been making. People are tired of watching people die over and over again for a war that just isn't working. It is time to try a different direction and Congress is the ones who are trying to see that it is carried through.

it must be difficult for the Democratic led Congress to do a lot worse; even if, if Barney Frank and Chris Dodd's roles contained in the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac debacle will change into mainstream information, the approval score will decline further. presently all undesirable issues that ensue are attributed to Pres. Bush. on the instant, the media is portray Barney Frank because the guy who is going to fix issues! 10 months in the past, he proclaimed Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae as 'sturdy and in sturdy structure.' God help us all. in straightforward words even as the former protect of Reid, Frank, Pelosi, Dodd, Biden, Kennedy, ..... are voted out will issues replace. trust me, there are idiots on both section, yet till all of us change into independents somewhat than Democrats and Republicans, and start up digging previous what the media needs us to trust, we can stay pawns of the present media and political machines.

Not sure where you're getting your data, but it's pretty simple to show you that congress is at about 28% right now, and President Bush is at about 35%.
You're just wrong.

Do people really care about stupid approval polls?
There is only one political poll of merit. It occurs on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, every year. Everything else is meaningless.

Because they're actually doing something... To be fair, it's not difficult to work harder than that last Rep 'do nothing', vacationing Congress...
Here's a link that shows the approval rating:

It'll change once everyone realizes they stalled the military commanders from getting what they asked for... just like Aspen did during the Somalia fiasco and Johnson during Vietnam. You can't blame Bush on that... it was clearly Congress and they're still stalling.

It doesn't. Congesss' approval rate isn't any higher than the President's.

Because we have a Democratic majority in Congress and we hoped they would change some things, which they have not.

Well if we NEEDED a rubber stamp for fascism, we would BUY one, and that's what too many did before this 1-20-07.
