From Gallup here's the latest in congressional approval ratings.
Approval for Congress among Democrats more than doubled, from 18 percent to 43 percent, from January to February. Independents showed a substantial increase, from 17 percent to 29 percent. By contrast, approval of Congress by Republicans fell from 23 percent to 19 percent. Congress' approval ratings are usually low, although many Americans make a distinction, approving of their own House or Senate members while taking a dim view of the institution as a whole. "In fact, the current 31 percent score is very near the historical average of 35 percent in Gallup Polls since 1974," said the pollster. "That compares with an average 55 percent approval rating for presidents historically." |
