Gallup reports that Congress’ job approval is entrenched at a record low of 13%, writing:
Congressional job approval remains at 13% in November, identical to October and tying the all-time Gallup low on this measure. The 2011 average is on track to be the lowest annual rating of Congress in Gallup’s history.
Here’s what I noticed, however.
See that huge spike up in Congressional approval ratings? That was solely because of President Obama. Notice how quickly it collapses – breathtaking. What the Democratic base now understands is that while they hoped the President could change things, he has not. It is business as usual in Washington D.C.
