Congress down to 6% approval rating

A new poll by Rasmussen Reports shows Congress has only a 6% approval rating. Moreover, only 33% of folks think their own representative deserves to be reelected - a stunningly low figure, considering how people used to think every member of Congress was an asshole except their own.

The 6% overall figure is shocking too, because Rasmussen is a heavily Republican pollster. Think how low this number would be if the poll was by a nonpartisan firm.

Six percent. I may have seen a lower approval rating for Congress once before, but I sure as shit don't remember it. It's pretty bad that Congress today is even less popular than that awful 104th Congress. It's even down from the 8% that Rasmussen gave Congress back in April - before the Benghazi and IRS probes that have now backfired badly.
