I was kinda surprised.. I didn't know Snowden was down so far in favorability.. I thought he was on the precipice of Sainthood.

Glad the People can see through boner's lies no matter how much m$m tries to cover for him.. Congress is down to 12%.

Congress as a whole boasts a dismal average 12 percent approval rating, and its leaders in both parties rarely fare well in polls. A January NBC/WSJ survey found top Democrats doing just slightly better than top Republicans: House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi had a net -11 favorable rating (26 percent positive to 37 percent negative), while Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid had a net -12 rating (16 percent positive to 28 percent negative). In the most recent poll, voters were evenly split between preferring a Republican-controlled Congress or a Democratic-controlled one.

But many assign the GOP more blame for partisan gridlock. Two-thirds of Americans polled in the NBC/WSJ survey said the Republican Party is emphasizing a partisan approach over unifying the country, compared to 55 percent who said the same of Democrats, and 48 percent who said the same of President Barack Obama. Fifty-six percent said Republicans are too inflexible in dealing with the president.

The poll surveyed 1,000 Americans by phone between July 17 and July 21.

Hope this even gets more evident in the 2014 Election.
