WASHINGTON - July 8, 2008 - The
percentage of voters who give Congress good or excellent ratings has fallen to
single digits for the first time in Rasmussen Reports tracking history. This
month, just 9% say Congress is doing a good or excellent job. Most voters (52%)
say Congress is doing a poor job, which ties the record high in that dubious
category.
Last month, 11% of voters gave the legislature good or excellent ratings. Congress has not received higher than a 15% approval rating since the beginning of 2008.
