Public approval of the U.S. Congress’s performance fell to 10 percent, tying a record low set in February, according to a Gallup poll.
The poll, released today, found that 83 percent of Americans disapprove of the way Congress is doing its job, the latest in a string of poor marks that the legislative branch of government has received. The 10 percent approval rating, down from 16 percent in July and 17 percent in June, ties the lowest ranking registered for Congress since Gallup began measuring congressional approval 38 years ago.
