Political Approval Ratings
So, do you suppose the approval ratings of Congress and President have anything to do with anything these days? I mean, do you think there’s even ONE elected member of any national body that cares one bit about these ratings?
Sure, Congress is at 18%. That means, out of 10 people, only 8 are going to say they think Congress is doing a good job. And this is while Democrats control Congress, and yet Democrats are expected to win absolutely HUGE this fall. What does that mean?
I think it means Congress doesn’t care. I think Congressmen see these ratings and laugh with one another while they sip their champagne (paid for with tax dollars) and eat caviar. Why SHOULD they care? After all, just because you disapprove of them, what are you going to do about it? Exactly, nothing at all. There’s supposed to be a “huge” change in Congress this fall — as many as 20 seats might change hands — that’s out of 435. That’s a “huge” FIVE percent of members changing — despite the massive disapproval ratings.
No, the approval numbers are meaningless. The ruling class will not change because they don’t have to. Until there is serious revolution, the United States will continue it’s socialistic tendencies — no matter who is president.

Well actually people are pretty satisfied with the people that they elect, I like mine but yours are the bad ones. And of course the ratings for the Democrtas are SUBSTANTIALLY higher than for the Republicans.
Everyone knows that the Republican brand is now detested by most voters
I guess it’s good if you have a 20% approval rating if your opponent has a 10% rating…
The Republican Party is clueless right now. Then again, so is the Democrat Party. The only reason the Democrats are going to win is because Republicans are so hopeless and people (in most cases) aren’t allowed to vote for anyone else. This seems to be the way Democrats win most of the time, incredibly enough.
And yes, I’m sure that most Democrat voters are satisfied because they hate freedom and love being taken care of by mommy government.
