If people are so unhappy with the Democrat-controlled Congress?

Question

Why do they continue to expand their lead in polling for the upcoming Congressional elections....up to 18 points from 10 points last month...could it be that people are unhappy with Congress as a whole but realize that the Democrats are not the problem?

Answer 1

Yes, people are aware that 60 Senate votes are needed just to get a bill onto the floor for an up and down vote, and Democrats had only 51. They're also aware that Democrats would need 17 more votes in the Senate, and 33 more votes in the House in order to override the president's veto.

Answer 2

Well we should all be unhappy, why how can a so advance society be so dam stupid. We do what the government says and keep electing the same people, Democrat or Republican, so many people today have college degrees, what are they doing with them, bowing their head and just saying I can't do anything about it, hell the uneducated are doing the same, Just amazing have we become so dependent of stuff that we are no longer willing to make a stand and tell our government you need to change or we will remove you from our sight.
People its our fault we have a bad government, we allow it, we think we can do nothing about it, why well when is the last time we had citizens meeting with out politicians are businessmen, to direct us. We need to take responsibility

Answer 3

The public is too frustrated and impatient (stupid?) to understand that the Dems' majority is too small for them to make the changes they promised after the last elections, hence the discontent with Congress. The Republicans, as always, are are blocking or delaying these promised legislative changes, and then of course, Fox News and others are fuelling the discontent by repeatedly calling this 'deadlocked' (do-nothing) Congress 'The Democrat Congress'.

Answer 4

Wow! 18 points lead and you are celebrating? Its bad for both parties, but if you notice the ratting started to fall shortly after the Dems won the majority. Also notice that is a "Generic Ballot"

Answer 5

the final public knows Republicans the TEA occasion, communicate Radio, companies, great Oil and Wall highway, have created Falsehoods approximately them and their records and rules not prefect yet greater advantageous then their own so quickly they're basically doing their Jobs, the Critics could desire to close Up.

Answer 6

Our society is sadly run from the democratic side, which will only cause more chaos as the years progress. America is the only country with tons of people's hands out saying "gimme gimme gimme." To answer your question, it isn't congress, its what the people involved have become.

Answer 7

Congress as a WHOLE is causing the discontent. Dont fool yourself into thinking that the Democrats are excused from this mess. They, like the Republican counterpart are equally to blame.

90% of our congress is ineffective at best! We elected them, its our responsibility to elect new representation. Its a little funny that you simplify this as a party issue. This shows that the blind really do lead the blind at times.

Answer 8

The Democrats are doing what they've done for years...a bunch of rhetoric on what there "plan" is (which is always unclear) then we come to find...they have no plan....= nothing done...can't wait for the fools to vote one in and see what a mess this country becomes...ugh

Answer 9

It's funny the Dem's control the vote in congress and out number the Republicans, but they and there supporters will blame the republicans who they out number and have more votes on way there approval rating is so low, it is the Dem and liberal way not to take accountability for your actions and results produced.

Answer 10

The dems don't controll congress, they only have a slight majority. The polls could go up to even 60% but would that mean they have accomplished anything worthwhile from BOTH parties?
