Approval/Disapproval of "Congress" is a meaningless statistic - what matters is Approval/Disapproval within each representative's district and each senator's state. Obama, however, does get the focus of the nation's voters as a whole - and he's tanking badly and will continue to do so because he won't do what is necessary for the creation of jobs ... stop the government from spending money it doesn't have, drastically reduce government regulations, and get government the hell out of the way of everyday Americans who are the only ones who actually create jobs.

By the way, clo ... do you know that "tea baggers" is quite a nasty pejorative? You really should clean up your mouth, dearie.

Obama suddenly feels much better with his approval at 41%, of course he'd rather 50% ;))
The tea baggers really made a difference...clo

Disapproval Rating of Congress at a Record 82 Percent, Poll Finds

The debate over raising the debt ceiling, which brought the nation to the brink
of default, has sent disapproval of Congress to its highest level on record and
left most Americans saying that creating jobs should now take priority over
cutting spending, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.

A record 82 percent of Americans now disapprove of the way Congress is handling
its job — the most since The Times first began asking the question in 1977, and
even more than after another political stalemate led to a shutdown of the
federal government in 1995.

More than four out of five people surveyed said that the recent debt ceiling
debate was more about gaining political advantage than about doing what is best
for the country. Nearly three-quarters said that the debate had harmed the image
of the United States in the rest of the world.
