Savour: War in Iraq More Popular than Dem. Congress

Congressional Failures Par Excellence, Reid and Pelosi Take a Bow

Now this is just too rich. From a gallup poll taken today:

The War is twice as popular as Congress.

Under Democratic leadership, the 110th Congress is the least popular Congress since pollsters began measuring this. Various polls peg the disapproval at various numbers at various times. But one thing doesn’t change: Worst Congress ever.

Democratic apologists say that this is because Congress has failed to end the war. Well, that may explain the low marks on the Democratic end. But the 63 votes so far this year on the war obviously are turning off independents and Republicans.

Let us review. In November, Gallup pegged the Congressional job approval at 20% with 69% disapproval.

(This is my favorite) Apparently 69% say electing this Congress was a mistake. Only 20% apparently believe this Congress was not a mistake.

In December, Gallup found that 40% of Americans think the Surge is working, 39% say not working.
