Black: This question is simply to point out the error of those conservatives currently posting question after question gloating because the Democratic Congress has a lower approval rating than Bush. Apparently they didn't bother to look any further to find out that the Dems approval rating is higher than both theirs and Bush's in Congress.

Quickie: Really? You cons believe in truth and not polls? Then why have there been numerous questions posted by conservatives in the last couple days gloating because they think the Democrat Congress has worse ratings than Bush? Funny how you all switch the polls off when they don't meet your agenda, but you all jump on them when you THINK they denigrate the Democrats.

drtool: You're trying to tell ME about politics while your first sentence shows you to be completely uninformed? The USSC did NOT overturn Roe v. Wade. Nice job lol.

RANDALL FLAGG: LOL, Yeah what was I thinking pointing out the truth? Shame on me!!!!

Answer 1

Well the Democrats have only been in power a few months a lot of the ill feeling directed at them is residual affect from the years of Republican mismanagement. Looking at some of the answers I have to laugh people say that polls have a liberal leaning, and they're biased against conservatives. No, dummies it is the PEOPLE that are biased against republicans.

Answer 2

You're taking joy out of the fact that 6 out of 10 Americans think your party is doing a fair/poor job in Congress?

If you ask me to interpret these numbers, I'd say both parties are doing a pathetic job at trying to run the country. No wonder so many people are disenfrachaised with the system!

Answer 3

Americans are frustrated and exhausted with the constant bickering. President Bush must protect his legacy, the Republican Congress worry about re-elections and the Democratic Congress will not back down.

President Bush will not have a legacy, the Republican Congress will suffer in elections and the Democratic Congress will not back down.

Answer 4

The us supreme court stopped the killing of millions of taxpayers ea yr by overturning rowe v wade. congress is tring to get it back. They scream social security is running out yet they dont want taxpayers. ( interesting ) I say stop abortion by discontinuing sexual practices by unwed people, that should take care of most of it. For those few left educate them in pregnancy prevention or adoption.

the American people have stated by majority that they dont want gay marriage. still congress battles that one. just cant seem to hear the voice of the people.

firing Navy Chaplins from the U.S. Navy for praying in Jesus' name. Where we have the freedom of speech and religion, ( so long as noone gets their feelings hurt )

Gas is up again, we have oil but cant drill for it because it might dislocate a few owls or carraboo ( however you spell it )

We dont seem to know what to do with all the ILLIGEAL ALiens. ( theyre illigeal ) we dont have a problem figuring out what to do with drug dealers ( if we can catch them ) we knew what to do with Martha Stewart. Give me a break, illiegal aliens are stealing millions too. Send them home or lock them up or get them legal. Its not hard.

that is just the surface... you ask how i would rate congress. I say fire every dang one of them and hire some people with common sense.

look at democratic frontrunner for pres. do you really want that back in the whitehouse???

is there a negative on the scale?

Answer 5

And the point you are trying to make ? I'm pretty clueless given that all politicians are the same, and polls does not in any way shape or form speaks for the masses. It is not even 1% of the population used for their polls, so it is all suggestable and speculative. Nothing else!

Answer 6

Wow 1001 unknown people who were willing to answer a poll makes you believe the numbers mean something, I wonder what the other 299,999,000 million think about a poll telling them how they think feel about that?

Answer 7

Both parties, the president and economy all have poor ratings. Polling is just another way for people to earn a living. If you believe them, there may be a bridge for sale that has your name on it.

Answer 8

Proves that polls are useless. Dem's have imploded on their decreased funding bill. 29-67 against. That is the will of the American people, not some biased poll.

Answer 9

Democrats just got defeated GOOD in the Senate.

Liberals believe in POLLS and we CONS believe in TRUTH.

Answer 10

Elway, what the hell is wrong with you! You obviously want to change America for the better. This makes you a TRAITOR, in the eyes of so few.

SOCIALIST!... uh....I mean....uh...COMMIE!...uh...I mean...uh...yer stupid!
