And with a Democratic president at 55%.

Just weeks before Election Day, less than 1 in 5 Americans approve of the job Congress is doing, according to a new Gallup poll released Wednesday.

Congress has an 18 percent approval rating, the survey found.
The approval rating for Congress has remained below 25 percent since 2009, the year President Obama took office.

Democrats are slightly more approving of Congress, the poll found. Twenty-two percent of Democrats approved of Congress, while just 14 percent of Republicans did. The GOP controls both the House and Senate.

    That’s actually 20 percent higher than I would have ranked them.

      7 coitus; sexual intercourse.

      There were 6 other definitions, but who cares about them?

        Another interesting Tid Bit; The original meaning of “To Marry a Woman” was ONLY to have inter-coarse with her. There was none of this sticking around afterward in it.

    An 18% approval rating?Why is it so high?What is it that they actually do to make life more live able for the average American?They overregulate until the populace is strangling in a complex myriad of rules and laws and more rules.They don’t want to do much of anything for the average citizen who cannot afford to shove money in their pockets.I know there are some good public servants in their midst,somewhere.But the whole concept of “public servants” was forgotten decades ago.That is until the public screams,and yells,and gets vocal enough to make them do the job they were sent there for in the first place.
