Approval Ratings for Congress Still in the Toilet

At some point, people will have to stop assuming that the new Democrat leadership in Congress has some sort of mandate, or at least acknowledge that Bush has at least as much of a mandate as they do.

A new Gallup Poll finds continued low levels of public support for both Congress and President George W. Bush. Twenty-nine percent of Americans approve of Congress, down slightly from last month’s reading (33%) and this year’s high point of 37%, while Bush’s approval rating is holding steady at 33%. Both the ratings of Congress and the president are slightly lower than their respective 2007 averages.

  2. Not exactly a fair comparison.  Read this piece by UW professor Charles Franklin.
