Only 18 of Americans approve of Congress

Russia TodayUS Congress The US congressional approval rating has dipped below 20 percent yet again, down from 23 percent in February. A Gallop Poll released March 11 indicated a mere 18 percent of Americans approve of the job their congress is doing. Results indicated independents are the most displeased with their leaders – just 15 percent of those identified as independent approve of Congress, a decline of 7 percent since February.At the moment twenty percent of Democrats and Republicans approve of the job their legislators are doing. Typically, congressional approval ratings approve in the first few months of a new congress. Past large shifts in legislative power have shown marked increases. That does not seem to be the case this time around and most Americans continue to remain concerned.http://rt.com/usa/news/usa-americans-disapprove-congress/
