Congressional Job Approval Once Again Drops to Historical Low

This headline should not surprise anybody.

A new Gallup poll indicates Congressional job approval has dropped to a historically low 13 percent. Only 14 percent of Republicans and Democrats approve this Congress, while Congressional job approval among independents was 13 percent. Only eight percent of respondents 55 and older said they back Congress.

Gallup recorded the same dismal statistics in August and again in Dec. 2010.
