See this story entitled "Shift in Congress Brings Little Change, Most Americans Say." Excerpt:
Six in 10 Americans say restoring Democrats to control of Capitol Hill “hasn’t brought much change.” Amid House Democrats’ opening 100-hour legislative blitz to pass minimum-wage increase and other measures, a 42% plurality said the change in party control had “brought the right kind of change.”
House Democratic leader Rahm Emanuel cautions that his party “can’t be a one-trick pony” by focusing solely on the Iraq war at the expense of health care, education and other domestic issues. The 31% job-approval rating for Congress, unchanged since March, falls below President Bush’s 35% mark.
Some 58% of liberals rate House Speaker Pelosi favorably, compared with 24% of moderates and 14% of conservatives. [edit: italics in original]
