Gallup’s latest polling of congressional approval ratings have them at 21%, down 10% from last month. This marks a pretty significant dive on the downward trend that has been occurring since March of this year.

The biggest drop in support has come from Democrats. Last month 54% of Democrats approved of how Congress was doing their job, but that number has sunk 18% to 36% this month.

It seems the Democrats are just content on not listening to the people who sent them to power. For example, when the Democrats regained the House in 2006 they promised to restore the 5 day work week to the House. Now Steny Hoyer has reneged on that and returned them to a 2 1/2 day work week. That’s a nice message to send to a constituency that is struggling to find work or having to work 60-80 hours a week to barely survive.

If the Democrats don’t start paying attention they will see their new found power quickly taken away. The left and the right might disagree on political points, but one issue that brings unity is the fact that our Congress needs replaced. Republicans won’t beat Democrats next year – the “not the same” candidate will.

Congress needs to remember who their employer is – the American people. If they want to continue to work against their employer then they will find themselves without a job. And even if the Democrats somehow retain control of the House next year then they need to look at getting rid of the good for nothing Steny Hoyer. He is as useless as Harry Reid.
