Here are the current job approval figures for President Obama and the U.S. Congress. The figures shown are the RealClearPolitics average of all the most recent polls for each. Note that the president is 28.9 points higher in approval than Congress -- while Congress has a 24 point higher disapproval rating than the president.
I just don't see how Obama's approval rating is so low. I've never been that happy with him, but as presidents go: what's not to like? How could he reasonably be expected to do any better a job? I just don't get it.
ReplyDeleteAs for Congress: I don't think that means much. Conservatives hate Congress for totally different reasons than I hate Congress. I'm upset that Congress isn't doing anything to improve the country's infrastructure and they're upset because Congress isn't privatizing the interstate highway system. I'm not sure what that tells us.
