Poll: Half of Americans think Congress is corrupt

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Half of all Americans believe most members of Congress are corrupt -- a figure that has risen 12 points since the start of the year -- and more than a third think their own representative is crooked, according to a new poll released Thursday by CNN.

According to the poll, a majority disapproves of how both parties are handling their jobs in Congress. Just 42 percent approve of how the Democrats are doing in Congress, while 54 percent disapprove. The GOP fares even worse -- only 36 percent approve of their performance in Congress, while 61 percent disapprove.

Pollsters from Opinion Research Corp. interviewed 1,012 Americans from Friday through Sunday. The survey has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.5 percentage points.

4. And the other half just doesn't think...

Seriously, though, this doesn't bode well for the GOP if half of the population believes their congress to be corrupt. After all, the Corporate Media has been whoring for them since the 1994 "revolution." Their veneer of "personal responsibility" and "moral superiority" is peeling off.

Apparently you really can't fool "all the people all the time..."

5. Who wants to be raped or molested by a Democrat, when they have no power?

Once the Democrats are in power, virile young pages will be molested by Democrats, too.

6. "The Dems don't take their beatings the way we like"

:wtf:

7. The other half haven't heard about about Ney & Cunningham yet...

I am totally frustrated, I mean these people on the Right are on another planet ideologically from us. Everything is fine as far as they are concerned or the problems can be cured by more of the same!

8. Only half?
