Voter approval of the job Congress is doing has fallen to a new low - for the second month in a row.

Just six percent (6%) of Likely U.S. Voters now rate Congress' performance as good or excellent, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Last month, Congressional approval ratings fell to what was then a record low with eight percent (8%) who rated its performance good or excellent.

Sixty-one percent (61%) now think the national legislators are doing a poor job, a jump of nine points from a month ago.I wonder if this will translate to a large number of Representatives/Senators losing their seats in 2012...

Unfortunately these type of polls usually show that while people have a negative view of Congress as a whole, they tend to like their representative.

This section worries me though, to a degree:

Forty-eight percent (48%) of voters think it's more important for Congress to pass good legislation than to prevent bad legislation from becoming law. Forty percent (40%) say it's more important for the legislators to stop bad laws from being enacted. This is consistent with monthly surveys since last August.
There is no such thing as "good" legislation these days considering that there is little need for a permanent legislature. Every time a new law is passed, an angel loses his wings and has to wait for a bell to ring.

This doesn't make any sense.
Everyone knows that we need a law to clip angel wings, because every winged angel outcompetes the local butterflies, and we need to protect those jobs.
Then law can come to the rescue when the angels can't make a living. We can either put them on welfare or let the state employ them.
Because there was no tangible benefit to them having wings to begin with - after all, if Clarence had wings, he wouldn't have been there, George would have jumped, and fractional reserve banking would have had one less apologist.

This is only fun if you get "on the street " interviews , questions & answers from this six percent.
