Poll: 75 percent disapprove of Congress‘ performance
WASHINGTON (CNN) — Americans think Congress is doing a pretty lousy job, according to a poll released Friday.
[...]Approval of congressional Democrats stands at 43 percent, twice that of Congress in general. The flip side, however, is that Democrats who control Congress still face a disapproval rating of 51 percent, a figure that has increased 11 percentage points since March.

“The ratings for Congress overall have been mired in the mid- to low 20s for several months, but for most of the year, Americans have had a positive view of the Democrats in Congress,” said CNN polling director Keating Holland. “That’s not true any longer — this poll is the first time we have found majority disapproval for the Democratic leaders’ track record since they took control of Congress.”
[...]Adds Holland, “The problem is that the dwindling popularity of the congressional Democrats will probably only make it harder for them to score any legislative victories — which is probably the only way to turn their approval numbers around.”
