Not only is this 112th Republican and TeaP-controlled Congress the "least popular" with the American people, but they are also the "LEAST PRODUCTIVE Congress since Herbert Hoover days" according to the prestigious and impartial C-SPAN News and the LA Times. The filibuster-fanatical Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) stated their only objective: Do everything possible to UNDERMINE President Obama and to make our [hard-working nation-saving] President Obama "a one-term president"...that's all these far-right-wing theocratic-coup-seeking extremists and in some cases BIGOTS want to do even if doing so would be destructive for America! Had enough yet, America? Vote these TeaP bullying FISCAL ILLITERATES and the incompetent right-wing Republicans OUT in November!

Omg, it truly is devasting for the GOP, and purely previously Election 3 hundred and sixty 5 days, 2012, too. 40 8% + 17% = sixty 5% rightfully blaming the right. The Dems couldnt dream up more suitable effectual numbers. Boehner useful pulled a b0ner, even w/ draw close manipulator, KKKarl Rove hissing in his ear. B0ner's proved a third tier bumbler. He makes Nancy look like LBJ in shrewdness and effectiveness in operating w/ congress. Now the GOP pays dearly purely because it did in 2006 & '08. purely as Hitler's rabid fascist delusions were his worst enemy, so w/ the rabid, fascist correct interior the US. the US fascists can look on the expulsion of their fellow vacationer demagog Beck from Foxic as a harbinger of their destiny. They both failed for the very similar reason: their irrational r. wing extremism.

Congress has had lousy ratings pretty much since Bush got elected, with the Republicans rated lower than the Democrats in congress. I know, here comes the thumbs down, but look it up. I doubt the Tea Party has helped the cause.

Oh yes, the non-Tea Party inspired Congresses were brimming with popularity!
It's CLEARLY the Tea Party that has hurt the esteemed reputation of Congress! LOL!

They clearly are. All of the bills passed by the Tea Party Congress have been pieces of ultra-conservative activist legislation that they knew would never be passed.

Yea, congress is unpopular becasue they have been following the advice of the Tea Party.
No other reason what so ever.
Rachel, I love you dearly but your head is just too full of sawdust.

Fair question.
Because honestly our media and politicians have persuaded us to be lazy and just want more handouts instead of being self-reliant and responsible.
So when people aka our conservative congress try to stop that of course it's not popular.
It is still the right thing to do. Our spending is way out of control.
Is it more important to be popular or to do what's right?

To answer your question;
No, Congress includes the Senate which has not passed a budget in over three years....Looking at the latest polls for Senate races Republicans are ahead and posed to take six seats away from the Democrats in November.....

The Democrat Senate-No budget in 3 years

I think the fact that the Harry Reid-led Senate hasn't passed a budget (EVER - since 2006) has something to do with it....
