Low blow "Just 14 percent of Americans have a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in Congress. This 14 percent congressional confidence rating is the all-time low for this measure," said a Gallup Poll released yesterday. So much for the shiny new Democrat-controlled Congress. "What's even worse is that the previous all-time low also belonged to a Democrat-led Congress," Rebecca Fisher of the National Republican Senatorial Committee said yesterday. The previous low point for Congress was 18 percent at several points from 1991 to 1994, she noted. "In six months, Democrat congressional leadership has managed to bring it all back to where they began — at the lowest congressional confidence levels in Gallup's history. At least we know Democrats can be successful at something," she said. "How will Senate Democrats up for re-election explain these numbers to their constituents? Democrats like Mary Landrieu, Max Baucus, Tom Harkin, Mark Pryor, Dick Durbin, Carl Levin, John Kerry, Jack Reed, Jay Rockefeller, Frank Lautenberg and Joe Biden need to enlighten voters as to why the public has lost all confidence."
