Yep! (I like the way that RealClearPolitics also shows the current SPREAD between the popularity/unpopularity of generic 'Republicans' in Congress, and generic 'Democrats' in Congress. This too is a standard polling question that has been asked for many years, but is not always all that easy to find): Congressional Job Approval RCP Average Approve 34.3 Disapprove 59.0 Spread -24.7 Generic Congressional Vote RCP Average Democrats 41.5 Republicans 38.8 Democrats +2.7 realclearpolitics.com Also a very good place to look for the President's job approval numbers, with a nice rolling average of all the latest big polls, (very steady thus far at two-to-one in favor): President Obama Job Approval Polling Data Poll Date Sample Approve Disapprove Spread RCP Average 04/14 - 04/22 -- 61.8 32.3 +29.5 Gallup 04/20 - 04/22 1547 A 65 29 +36 Rasmussen Reports 04/20 - 04/22 1500 LV 55 44 +11 Pew Research 04/14 - 04/21 1507 A 63 26 +37 Associated Press/GfK 04/16 - 04/20 1000 A 64 30 +34 See All President Obama Job Approval Polling Data realclearpolitics.com realclearpolitics.com
