Congress’ Aproval Ratings Up

by Stephan Tawney on September 20, 2007

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.
