Approval Of Congress In The Crapper

I guess that headline is a little gauche, but true, or at least so says the LA Times

WASHINGTON — Fueled by disappointment at the pace of change since Democrats assumed the majority on Capitol Hill, public approval of Congress has fallen to its lowest level in more than a decade, according to a new Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll.

Just 27% of Americans now approve of the way Congress is doing its job, the poll found, down from 36% in January, when Democrats assumed control of the House and the Senate.

And 63% of Americans say that the new Democratic Congress is governing in a "business as usual" manner, rather than working to bring the fundamental change that party leaders promised after November’s midterm election.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco), the first woman to hold that position, has also failed to impress many Americans. Only 36% approve of the way she is handling the job, the poll found.

Isn’t President Bush at the same mark, 36%?

Goodness, will all the other liberal media outlets yell this from the rooftops, as they do W’s approval rating?

A third of liberal Democrats, who constitute the party’s base, approve of the job Congress is doing; 58% disapprove, the poll found.

Ouch! The LA Times will probably be labeled a right-wing-nut outlet by the Nutroots now

    It’s about terrorism, stupid…

    When talking about the illegal immigration situation in the United States, many folks make the grave error of thinking this is a racist or class issue. They are dead wrong. This is about terrorism and the safety of American citizens….
