8. Other polls say their approval is very close

At this moment, Congressional Dems might be SLIGHTLY more favored than Republicans, but you won't find ANY poll from any reputable source that says more than 30% are happy with either party in Congress.

And that is the point. Why should we continue to be driven by people who only achieve 30% satisfaction -- or even 50% if we want to really disconnect from the real world?

If you had an engineer on staff whose designs failed 70% of the time, would you be asking that engineer for advice, or would you be looking for a better engineer?

I'm not bashing Dems, per se. I'm simply saying we should look for ones who can do better than 25% or 35%, and give them a chance to lead.
