An impressive stat from Rasmussen:
The percentage of voters who give Congress good or excellent ratings has fallen to single digits for the first time in Rasmussen Reports tracking history. This month, just 9% say Congress is doing a good or excellent job. Most voters (52%) say Congress is doing a poor job, which ties the record high in that dubious category.
What amazes me is that despite the 9% rating, there doesn’t seem to be anti-incumbent fever spreading across the country. You’d think that any sitting congrescritter should be concerned about his or her reelection prospects, regardless of party affiliation.
Oh, but I forget. This is America, where we have mastered the art of “someone else’s problem”. Something’s not quite right when, in 435 Congressional districts and 33 or 34 states, polled folks seem to essentially be saying, “my congressman/woman is the best candidate for the job…but all those other jokers need to be kicked out of office.”
