Congress Less Popular Than Ever

Nobody in Congress should crow about President Bush's low approval ratings. While he's down at 28 percent, our nation's legislature is even lower -- 14 percent in the latest Gallup poll, USA Today reports.

The numbers are, of course, partly merely a reflection of dissatisfaction with the state of the nation, especially the economy. But 14 percent is a shockingly low number -- the lowest since Gallup began asking the question in 1974. Fully 75 percent of respondents said they disapprove of the job Congress is doing (10 percent had no opinion).
