As I predicted, Congress approval numbers continue to sink lower.  Congress now has a whopping 19% of people that find them doing a “good” job.

Now while typically general congress disapproval outweighs the feelings on individual congressional members, Harry Reid is proudly bucking that trend.  He also turned in an abysmal 19% favorable rating.  I’m sure that was unrelated to his maneuvering to stall the immigration bill procedurally. One  also wonders where all the press hubbub is, you know, mirroring that when the President first hit 29% in approval.
These new lows are largely due to the immigration travesty that is still trying to find a way to go against vast public opposition.  But some credit must also be given to the Democratically control congress that has started countless hearings and investigations (what is the Judicial Branch for again?) while forgetting campaign promises like better ethics and being in session more of the year (last I heard they are scheduled for 22 weeks off).
