Congress Is Still Very Unpopular With Most Americans

The charts above reflect the results of the latest Economist / YouGov Poll -- done between January 10th and 12th of a national sample of 1,500 adults, with a 3.6 point margin of error.

It shows that the U.S. Congress remains very unpopular with the American people. Only 13% approve of the job they're doing, while 59% disapprove -- a 46 point negative rating.

Once the Democrats assume control of the Senate, will the job approval rise? Only if Congress starts getting something done to solve the nation';s problems. If gridlock continues, the low approval rating will persist.
