Congressional Approval Rating Falls to Single Digits

Rasmussen:  "The percentage of voters who give Congress good or excellent ratings has fallen to single digits for the first time in Rasmussen Reports tracking history. This month, just 9% say Congress is doing a good or excellent job. Most voters (52%) say Congress is doing a poor job, which ties the record high in that dubious category."  So, why aren't Republicans going after the "new Democratic Congress" harder?  As Prof. Blanchard points out below, there's nothing "new" in Obama's politics, just as there's been no real leadership from the Democrats (or Republicans, for that matter) in Congress.
