Answer 1

absolutely..by doing more of the same...cut and run...tax and spend, grandstanding..more pork speeches from the pelosi/reid regime..its not what people want,they are only now finding out there is no magic pill for al qaeda and iraq and the whole concept of a liberal extremist government was proven ridiculous back with the antics of bill clinton...

Answer 2

A lot of people are throwing around that 14% figure and comparing it to Bush approval rating. That's a false comparison because they are two different measurements. Bush's APPROVAL rating is 31% while congress is at 36% (as per Fox news).

Here is how Gallup describes their annual confidence survey:
Gallup's annual update of the public's confidence in institutions -- conducted June 11-14, 2007 -- shows that all but 2 of the 16 institutions included in this year's survey have at least slightly lower confidence ratings than last year (although most of these changes are not statistically significant). The largest drops in confidence between 2006 and 2007 are eight percentage points for banks, the presidency, television news, and newspapers. There has been no change in the ratings of big business and HMOs.

Answer 3

It is interesting to see that with the congress rating so low and the presidents rating so low.. what are people trying to say.

WE ARE SICK TO DEATH OF ALL OF THESE CROOKED AND DO NOTHING POLITICIANS

Should be interesting come election time... I think we should all just write in someone we think would do a better job than those we have now... Actually my hairdresser would be good..

Answer 4

So long as there is ANY approval rating it becomes possible to sink lower...

Answer 5

Yes

Answer 6

I think that the only reason that it is as high as 14% is that some of those polled had to be the mothers of the Congressional leadership.

Answer 7

Yes they can sink lower (in moral character) , Listen to how they seek to increase poverty and misery by raising taxes at every possible opportunity and how they foster envy in the poor. They can always do more evil.

If you mean in popularity I don't think so. Their numbers will increase as long as they are linked so intimately with the father of all lies.

Answer 8

the dem congress with its huge 30 person majority in a 532 seat organization you mean?

i'm sure the republicans can make it sink lower.

Answer 9

With the likes of Pelosi, Murtha ,Reid , Kennedy , and others to numerous to mention , what do you think ?

Answer 10

Hate, hate, hate! Lets all spread the hate!
Republicans? Hate!
Democrats? Hate!
Isn't America Great!

Answer 11

By the time election day rolls around, the will have ZERO credibility!!

Trust me, Pelosi and her minions will have the people so sick of the kooks it's unreal!
