Republicans Are Losing Faith In The 115th Congress

Posted on the 10 August 2017 by Jobsanger


The charts above are from the latest Gallup Poll. That poll was done between August 2nd and 6th of a random national sample of 1,017 adults, with a 4 point margin of error.
The poll shows the 115th Congress is at a record low point of public approval. Only 16% of the general public approves of the job being done by Congress -- the lowest percentage since this Congress was sworn in.
Republicans had high hopes for this GOP-controlled Congress back in February. About 50% said they approved, pushing the general public percentage up to 28%. But the spectacular dysfunction of this Congress has busted the bubble of most Republicans, and that 50% approval has dropped all the way down to 16% (the same percentage as Independents, and only 4 points higher than Democrats).
This remains a Congress that almost no one respects.
