The New Republic: "Congress's approval rating is even lower than President Bush's--it's at 23 percent according to the latest NBC-Wall Street Journal poll. And, in another poll, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's favorability rating is down there with Scooter Libby--at 19 percent."
UPDATE: Here's another poll from USA Today:
New Gallup data show confidence in Congress at all time low
Just 14% of Americans have a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in
Congress.
This 14% Congressional confidence rating is the all-time low for this
measure, which Gallup initiated in 1973. The previous low point for
Congress was 18% at several points in the period of time 1991 to 1994.
Congress is now nestled at the bottom of the list of Gallup's annual
Confidence in Institutions rankings, along with HMOs. Just 15% of Americans
have a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in HMOs. (By way of
contrast, 69% of Americans have a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in
the military, which tops the list. More on this at galluppoll.com on
Thursday).
