Confidence in Congress Hits New Low

11%, is it that high? And still they feel empowered to do whatever the hell they want. Do you think they ever wonder why their approval rating is so low? Nope, me either. They don't care. Besides if it really starts to bother them, they could always vote themselves another raise. A nice raise makes me feel better.

And obama is really at 36%? That's about 38% more than he deserves.

Only 76% for the Military? Those other 24% need to enlist and spend a couple of tours of duty in Afghanistan, if they think they can do a better job. I think when it comes to critisizing the Military you need to put up or shut up. Of course, there are a lot of people who want to enjoy the freedoms our Military secures but don't have the balls to do it themselves...

Not feeling particularly high on Congress? Join the crowd. A Gallup poll conducted July 8-11 has public confidence in Congress down to 11 percent, the lowest score in its "Confidence in Institutions" survey since 1973.

The other institution that took a hit was the presidency. In June 2009, 51 percent had a great deal or a lot of confidence in the presidency, a number that has now fallen to 36 percent.

Ranked at the top of the list of institutions that do command high confidence are the military (76 percent), small business (66 percent), the police (59 percent), the church or organized religion (48 percent) and the medical system (40 percent).
