So 84% disapprove of the job Congress is doing,
And only 14% approve, according to a survey Lawrence O'Donnell just cited. Gee, I have no idea why that would be. :eyes:

1. that was a pretty sobering figure
but...as I said earlier, nobody--not even the looniest bagger in my area approves of gutting Medicare and Social Security...or having their taxes raised while the rich pay nothing...they are more concerned about bashing us for our social issues.

3. Who did they poll?
It sounds like they must have polled Democrats who sat out the 2010 midterms.

Surely all those teabaggers don't all regret voting all those nut cases into Congress already, do they?

10. Sounds fishy to me
Fair and balanced Diebold almost never finds less than 150% support of right-wing extremism....

7. A proud 10%er
As a Democrat in Idaho, there is NO reason to respect any of the teapublican stooges stinking up our nations Capitol.

5. I think this poll is a response to the debt ceiling fight.
I don't think either party, in the view of the general public, came off looking too good on that one.

11. Congress is never popular
People only like the members they sent, and disapprove of everyone else's.
