Congress' Job Approval Retreats to 17%
Down seven points from May
Further back in Gallup trends, Congress had an 18% approval rating in March 1992 and a 19% rating in June 1979. All of the historical low ratings have come during sluggish economic times in the United States.
Though all party groups currently give Congress poor ratings, Democrats' ratings (25%) are more positive than independents' (13%) or Republicans' (14%).
Republicans' current approval rating is the lowest, by a point, since the GOP took control of the House of Representatives in January.
Republicans and Democrats rated Congress similarly during the early part of 2011, but in recent months Democrats have been more positive.
