Disapproval of Congress Hits All Time High of 84%

Americans are more upset with political leadership than ever before

Disapproval of Congress has hit an all time record high of 84% according to a Gallup poll released today, barely a week after pollster Pat Caddell warned that a dramatic loss of confidence in the country’s leadership meant Americans were now “pre-revolutionary”.

“Americans have usually not held Congress in high regard, but currently they have a more negative view of the institution than any other time Gallup has measured,” states the report, noting that the disapproval figure stood at 77% last time Americans were polled on the issue in early July.

Approval of Congress, which stands at just 6 per cent according to Rasmussen, is measured by Gallup at 13 per cent, tying the all time historic low reached in December 2010, but the disapproval figure of 84 per cent is one percentage point higher than last December’s figure.

Disenchantment with Congress is mirrored by President Obama’s ailing approval rating, which also fell to an all time low of 40% in recent days.

The Gallup survey dovetails with a recent Rasmussen poll which showed that just 17 per cent of Americans believe that the U.S. government has the consent of the governed, an all time low. In addition, 46 per cent of Americans think most members of Congress are corrupt, with just 29% believing otherwise.

Pollster Pat Caddell responded by stating that the results of the poll indicated Americans were now “pre-revolutionary,” labeling outcome as “unprecedented”.

Anger at both Obama and Congress at their inability to offer genuine long-term solutions to the debt crisis and the country’s economic decline has left many Americans fearful that rioting and unrest could ensue. Almost half of all Americans believe that government austerity measures will lead to civil unrest on a scale recently seen in London, according to a new Rasmussen survey.

By every measurement, Americans are finally beginning to realize that the two party system has failed them because both establishment Republicans and establishment Democrats have completely abrogated their duty to uphold the constitution in favor of pleasing Wall Street and special interests in Washington.

This is why 2012 is perfectly primed for Congressman Ron Paul, the only presidential candidate who has stuck to sound money principles. Paul’s voting record proves that he is the only Republican candidate who will attempt to change the status quo that has left America in financial ruin.

Polls show that Ron Paul has the best chance out of any of the Republican candidates of beating Obama in 2012.

Now that the establishment media has brazenly admitted its deliberate policy to denigrate, sideline and ignore Ron Paul, it is once again left to the grass roots to educate other Americans about how Paul is the last hope for the United States if it wishes to maintain its status as the leading economic superpower of the world.

  2. Just remember that we need a PEACEFUL protest when this thing is underway. If you have a situation with an officer, do something that most politicians don’t do: be professional and promote peace.

    END THE FED
    RON PAUL 2012

  3. the other 16% are deaf dumb and blind

  4. Americans don’t want global government.

    • its not in the choice of the american people .super congress will decide that . soon they will tell us what to eat how to raise our kids when to have sex with our wives and will come up with alot more has they go along .

  5. I wonder if poll hits 100 percent will we go for the armed revolt.

  6. Who are the 16% who like them?

    Relatives and members of their extended families perhaps?

    I doubt even 16% of Nancy Pelosi’s family can stand her.

    Those numbers must be faked.

    • Their are MILLIONS of people leaving in Manhattan, and you should study their demographics.

  7. Only 84%? I thinks it’s way higher.
    I have not talked with anyone who is a happy camper in a very long time…
    This recession has touched every family that I know is some way.
    So, where are the jobs gonna come from?
    They’ve fired teachers, gov’t workers…there are no green job beecause there is no green industry.
    Maunfacturing jobs went overseas.
    If Americans want a better country, we must demand it!
    Obama’s entire election banter was based on job creation and education improvement.
    it turned out to be a lie, as this situation got worse since his election. Lie, upon lie.
    Seems like we’re being “set up” to fail whit all that has happened.
    We need to make or demands known in DC and also find a way to end the Wall St – DC connection.
    Suggestions anyone????

    • just do what i do, instead of talking to your neighbors about mindless trivial stuff, i like to look up in the sky while talking to them and say, “holy crap! they’re doing some major chemtrailing today eh?” That immediately gets them to ask you more questions. Or i’d simply say, “i can’t believe Rick Perry now admits forcing girls to take the HPV vaccines was a bad idea. I didn’t think he’d start flip-flopping THIS early in the campaign….” Stuff like that, but we need to STOP talking about NFL football, Lady Gaga and So You Think You Can Dance.

  8. Don’t worry about Congress not doing their job of being there for the people, worry about X-factor or Americas got talent or some other BS TV show being on to misdirect the masses.
    I’m sure they’ll put some sort of spin on it and blame terrorists or a certain popular politician and the people will lap it up, or failing that either a new war or 9/11 event will turn the tables and make the people ‘love’ them again.

  9. Again—-fuck each and every politician the world over! all of them are the enemy. They’re the reason why we’re in the nwo situation to begin with. None of them are heros. None of them give a rats ass about what you think, feel and believe. none of them hear your bleating. All of them are self serving, greedy bastards that don’t deserve a fucking thing like worship, praise or support. They are the ones allowing us to be killed. They are the ones alowing this country to be destroyed from the inside. They’re the reason we’ll be living in tent cities here shortly.
