Congress poll numbers now in the single digits.

Courtesy of Swampland:

Gallup announced that Congress had reached a new low, winning the approval of just 9% of the American public. This breaks Congress’s record nadir from last year, when the amount of Americans who thought lawmakers were doing a good job dipped to 10%.

Gallup has been asking Americans how they feel about how Congress is handling its work for 39 years, and the average approval rating since 1974 is 33%. Affirmation hit its high in 2001, following the Sept. 11 attacks, at 56%. As to why approval ratings now equal the number of letters in Harry Reid’s name, pollsters said that “Americans’ views of Congress have not recovered” from the government shutdown. Even with all the media focus on Obamacare snafus, they note, lawmakers couldn’t sneak out of the doghouse.

Yes it could be argued that the President's poll numbers are also down, now around 44%, but let's face it, there is a HELL of a lot of difference between 44% and 9%.

Let's face it STD's and Adolph Hitler now poll better than the Republican led Congress.

THAT should indicate a complete reorganization of the Congress, and replacement of its more partisan members, but of course politics is all local, so we will see if this has any impact in the next elections cycle.

I kind of think that it might.
