Poll: Demo Congress Rated Below GOP One

Item: Congressional Job Approval Dips Again This Month: Democrats, Republicans now almost equally likely to disapprove of Congress/Joseph Carroll, The Gallup Poll

More: According to the June 11-14, 2007, survey, 24% of Americans approve and 71% disapprove of the way Congress is handling its job. Congressional approval is down five points since last month and more than 10 points from the higher support levels in January and February following the Democratic takeover. The current 24% rating is similar to the poor ratings Congress received last year, with Americans essentially voting to take control of Congress away from the Republicans in November.

Question: How do you rate Congress?
