Poll: Only 12% Approve Of Congress

A new Wall Street Journal poll finds that only 12 percent of Americans approve of the job Congress is doing and 83 percent disapprove – an all-time low for the survey. Fifty percent of the 1,000 people polled disapprove of the job President Barack Obama is doing while 45 percent approve. That’s just one point away from the all-time low for Obama in this survey. The survey also found that 57 percent of those polled say it’s time to vote out their current member of the U.S. House of Representatives in next year’s mid-term election/KING 5. More here.

Question: If only one-eighth of USA approves of Congress, why do we keep electing the bums and bumettes?
