There is no such Fox News poll.

My apologies.

It was a Gallup Poll.

Poll: Americans Give Democratic Congress All-Time Low Rating

Thursday , June 21, 2007

WASHINGTON —
Democrats pledged to take Congress in a new direction when it won control in November 2006, but less than six months after taking the reins, Americans aren't pleased with the results, giving lawmakers an all-time low public confidence rating.

In a Gallup poll released Thursday, only 14 percent of Americans have a "great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in Congress, a Gallup poll reports.

The poll shows an all-time lowest confidence rating and one of the lowest ratings for any institution in 30 years. The lowest confidence rating for Congress was 18 percent during 1991 to 1994. In 1994, the House switched from a Democratic to Republican majority after 40 years of one-party rule.

Do you dispute that Congress has a lower approval rating with the public than the President? (not that the President's current rating is anything he should bePresident proud about)
