That is how many people have confidence in Congress, according to a new Gallup poll:

<<< Just 14% of Americans have a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in Congress.

This 14% Congressional confidence rating is the all-time low for this measure, which Gallup initiated in 1973. The previous low point for Congress was 18% at several points in the period of time 1991 to 1994.

Congress is now nestled at the bottom of the list of Gallup's annual Confidence in Institutions rankings, along with HMOs. Just 15% of Americans have a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in HMOs. (By way of contrast, 69% of Americans have a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in the military, which tops the list... >>>

You might recall what happened the last time the American people had such little confidence in Congress - the majority party was sent packing, and back then that was the Democrats...and what do you know?, they are the majority party again.

As I've always said, take polls with a grain of salt - but there is certainly an opportunity here for Republicans to capitalise on. With a proper nominee for President and a clearly and courageously enunciated vision for American greatness, the GOP can sweep fully back into power next year.

Lets see if we're up to the challenge.
