what do you think about the approval rating of of congress its once again in the single digits?

I'm not impressed one way or the other by approval ratings. They're ephemeral things that don't really add up to anything. What DOES mean something is the way people vote. And the fact is, over 90% of incumbents get re-elected. SO what people say to pollsters and what they actually do are unfortunately two different things.

I can't understand why anyone would approve of the job Congress is doing. I'm surprised the approval rating is so high.

everytime congress tries to pass something, the republicans filibuster, or if something does manage to pass, bush vetoes it. it's a big reason that the repubs got beaten so badly, they were doing everything in their power to block dem sponsored bills.S-CHIP is a good example, congress actually passed something, and bush killed it.

True. I can't wait till we get the new President, maybe then Congress can get somethign accomplished.
