Reply #4: The corporate media doesn't understand the meaning behind polls showing disapproval of Congress

[bluestateguy]

The reason a majority, a big majority, disapproves of Congress is because the Democrats are not standing up to Bush enough. Approval of Congress is never all that high--usually 35%-40%. The reason for the unusually low numbers is because Democratic voters are angry that this Congress has been rather blase in standing up to the Administration. They gave Baby Bush his war money. I'd answer "disapprove" too if a pollster called me up, but vote for a Republican to Congress? Please. I suspect many others are saying they disapprove too because of Republican stalling tactics, filibusters and obstructionism. There is simply no groundswell for a Republican takeover of Congress.
