Bwahahahaha!

Nearly all of the recent increase is due to improved ratings of Congress among Republicans. The percentage of Republicans approving of the job Congress is doing rose from 18% in August to 37% in September. At the same time, there was only a two-point increase in approval among Democrats, and a three-point decline among independents (neither of which is statistically significant).

Don Surber writes:

Republicans are mocking congressional Democrats, who have made such a mess of things that Republicans figure they may have a shot next year. Not likely, but the Keystone Kops imitations by Pelosi and Reid and their minions auger well for Republicans — well, better than if Congress actually passed a major piece of legislation that was not some rider to a budget bill.

I can’t imagine being a Democrat and seeing that the side you despise approves of the job your leaders are doing, while you despise your leaders.

Meanwhile, President Bush’s approval rating is up:

Americans’ approval of President George W. Bush is now at 36%, the highest since April 2007, and slightly higher than his 33% job approval average since that point.

H/t Don Surber.
