Voters Still Have A Very Poor Opinion Of Congress




These charts show the results of the latest Economist / YouGov Poll -- done between July 21st and 23rd of a national sample of 1,212 registered voters, with a margin of error of 2.9 points.

The fact is that voters remain very disappointed in the U.S. Congress. Only about 15% approve of the job Congress is doing, while a whopping 64% disapprove. But those voters don't blame the two parties equally.

While about half disapprove of both parties, the Democrats are viewed more favorably by a larger percentage than the Republicans. About 44% of voters approve of the Democrats in Congress, while only 33% approve of congressional Republicans -- an 11 point difference.

That 11 points is a significant difference, and could be setting up a repeat of the 2018 election (which was disastrous for Republicans) -- especially with a very unpopular president at the top of their ticket.
