Congress's Job Approval Rating: 18% vs. President Bush's 32%:

The Gallup Poll released it's most recent batch of job approval numbers for Congress and President Bush. 18% of Americans approve of the way Congress is doing it's job, while 32% approve of the way President Bush is doing his job.

This Congress is tied with the 1992 Congress, which was in the middle of a check-bouncing scandal at the time the poll was taken back then.

This is precisely why I think that control of Congress is going to change hands back and forth for some time to come. The American public is in the sort of mood that they'll turn politicians out of office until they find someone who does the job that they were sent to Washington to do. I think we're in for a lot of one-term Representatives and Senators from both parties.

And I don't think that's a bad thing either.
