It's sad to hear opinions of most Americans about our "do nothing" Congress. Americans distrust and disdain Congress. Now that our legislative body is in recess for the coming weeks, we seriously doubt if they'll be missed. Recent polls tell the tale of just how most of the country sees the situation.
A Gallup poll ranks the approval rating of Congress at an all time low at only 15 per cent. Fifty percent rate Congress as "very unproductive" and 74% rated Congress at "very unproductive". Another Gallup poll showed only 7% had "a great deal or quite a lot of confidence" in Congress, while 50% had "very little confidence".
