http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2014/09/15/378808/americans-disapprove-of-gop-in-congress/"Seventy-two percent of Americans disapprove of Republican members in Congress with 47 percent saying they strongly hate the political party, according to a recent poll.
The poll conducted by the Washington Post and ABC News said 61 percent of respondents are also unhappy with the Democratic party and 54 percent are dissatisfied with President Barack Obama.
Americans approval of Republicans has been abysmal for the past years, and that people around the world disliked Congress as a whole."
I found the last paragraph reassuring.
"According to the poll, 60 percent of Democrats approve of their party's members in Congress, while only 30 percent of Republicans have the same idea."

(11,075 posts)In general, Congress is always unpopular.
Yet, 96% of incumbents always get voted in again.
Despite this poll, things will probably work out pretty much the same this year.

(769 posts)Polls after polls has shown that Republicans are expected to retain the house and take over senate. Oh wait, these same polls once expected Romney to take the White House in landslide....
This is real confusing. These same pollsters and media wanted to see Republicans take over entire congress so it can create more drama which translates into more news feed for capitalists to create more news, more bullshot, more cover up, and giddy up by causing viewers to feel depressed and hopeless.
America's MSM is all about abandon the hope and spread more terror. It benefits them more.
