War 40, Congress 20

The War is twice as popular as Congress.

Under Democratic leadership, the 110th Congress is the least popular Congress since pollsters began measuring this. Various polls peg the disapproval at various numbers at various times. But one thing doesn’t change: Worst Congress ever.

Democratic apologists say that this is because Congress has failed to end the war. Well, that may explain the low marks on the Democratic end. But the 63 votes so far this year on the war obviously are turning off independents and Republicans.

Let us review. In November, Gallup pegged the Congressional job approval at 20% with 69% disapproval.

In December, Gallup found that 40% of Americans think the Surge is working, 39% say not working.

And while 57% now say going into Iraq was a mistake, 41% say it was not a mistake.

Apparently 69% say electing this Congress was a mistake. Only 20% apparently believe this Congress was not a mistake.

While obviously the questions are slightly different, the pollster is the same: Gallup.

Con:

I love that last section!:laughing:

The worst Congress ever to go right along with the worst President ever...very apt. Though from a historical perspective neither of those are true.

Cobngress has 20??? Geez, they're moving up, I thought it was 11. -20 is more like it.

He's only posted that list 5,000,000 times...usually to avoid having an actual conversation.

What I see from this, and I may be way off base, Is 20% support the war, but don't support congress, which tells me that those same 20% blame congress for their actions, but not the result of their actions. Makes zero sense to me.

Yeah, It's kind of hard to stay popular after throwing out promises like candy, yet doing nothing after that whole "election" garbage is over. Bait and Switches usually piss people off no matter the situation.
