Congressional Performance Congress: 13% Good/ Excellent, 43% Poor

Yikes.

Just 13% of Likely Voters now say Congress is doing a good or excellent job. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 43% give Congress a poor rating.

Those results represent a slight decrease from last month, when 15% gave Congress a good or excellent rating.

Not surprisingly, Republican voters hold a negative view of Congress. Over half (56%) of Republicans give Congress a poor rating, and only 12% give it a good or excellent rating. Among Democrats, the reviews are decidedly mixed--only 28% give Congress poor ratings while 17% say the legislators are doing a good or excellent job.

Among unaffiliated voters, only 11% rate Congressional performance as good or excellent, while 47% say poor.
