A recent poll shows that the approval rating of the U.S. Congress has plummeted to a new low of 11%.
Gallup reported the results of a poll based on telephone interviews conducted Oct. 3-6, 2013, with a random sample of 1,028 adults, aged 18 and older, living in all 50 U.S. states. Americans give Congress an 11% job approval rating, Gallup said, down eight percentage points from September and one point above the worst rating in Gallup history.
Democrats have only a 5% approval rating of Congress, while Republicans came in at 15% and Independents at 13%.

The most amazing part of this story is that there are still 11% of the population who approve of Congress. Maybe they didn’t understand the question.
Give this government a little more time and they will be the lowest rated in history. Maybe it is time for a third party.

Right now there is only 1 person that controls the shutdown, doesn’t matter if the republicans changed the amendment or the democrats changed the rules, that 1 person is harry reid. With him refusing to bring any of the bills to vote he holds all the cards.
I am very suspicious of these “polls”. Where can one see the actual questions asked?

@4ever49-don’t fall for Dunn’s crap. he is just like his brother and goes to all the left wing sites for his information. Anytime someone else post anything he wants them to provide “proof” because he is to lazy to look it up himself.
that sounds a lot like happyguy
lvs 4 ever 49 wanted to know where he could find the question asked and I provided the site that showed the question. And for that you attack me? Shows just how much class you have. By the way…my brother doesn’t post on this site. Again you are wrong.
Well what do you know. Happy Guy is back after saying he would never come on here again. More lies by the libraterd.
It is time to wake up and fight back. Do not be SHEEPLE like the libs want.
The term Congress includes the Senate and House of Representatives. In the current climate it is the Senate and White House that has the country shut down.
The Democrats in the Senate in concert with President Obama are hell bent in turning America into a Socialist country.
To make the country socialist Marx said, “you have to socialize medicine”. They have done that for sure. This country is going to be torn apart forever if Obamacare is not repealed. Eventually it will be anyway. The way it was written into law is not possible to implement without jack booted thugs forcing it down our throat. That is a disaster in waiting!
Never in my lifetime have I seen people so angry and upset by the Government taking over their lives and taking away personal freedom. It would behoove the President and the Democrats to turn their party back to the Kennedy era. The Democratic Party has turned away from a large part of their base. If the blacks had not voted in a block Obama would not be President. Sooner or later the black community will wake up to how they have been used to socialize this country and loose their freedoms.
Wake up folks!
