Republicans’ approval ratings tank


They got rid of scandal-tainted Majority Leader Tom DeLay, airport shoe-tapper Larry Craig and prurient instant message typer Mark Foley, but they just can't seem to shake the gloom.
Congressional Republicans scored just
36 percent approval ratings from the American public in a CNN/Opinion Research poll released Friday.
Fifty-four percent of Americans viewed Republicans in Congress unfavorably, while 41 percent said they were rankled by Democrats. Democrats had a 53 percent approval rating to Republicans' 36.
But despite Democrats' edge over Republicans, their handling of Congress receives few plaudits, according to the poll. Almost 70 percent of those questioned said they disapproved of how Congress was handling its job, with just 29 percent expressing approval.
The full PDF of the CNN poll

I hope the Republican Party voters show these worthless Law Makers they don't want them. Democrats too can do some cleaning house. It's time to take America back and get Law Makers who work for the people and not Wall Street/Businesses.
