11% for Congress and 24% for the Prez, according to that poll.

And Sanchez saying we're in "a nightmare with no end in sight" after str8 up lying to the US public 3-4 years ago.

Out of all places, in the US of A. Who woulda thunk it?

Not suprising at all to me. People on the left/center want the Dems to do something to stop the war, which they aren't. The right wants....whatever they want (gay marriage/abortion?), and the GOP has ignored them (with the obvious gambling bill the exception. But most of all, people are just sick of hearing about the way this country is going to [censored]. I have a feeling those poll numbers will shoot up around the end of January, 2009.......

Yet the reelection rate will still be around 90%.

But the system isn't rigged. Not at all. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Move along to the polls folks. Nothing to see here.

Could it be that people are fed up because they know corporations control both partys?

I bet if you polled most Americans that doesn't even come top 10.

Democrats are pissed due to non action on Iraq, Republicans are pissed because Democrats are in charge and Republicans are handing them 10 more seats minimum and Independents are pissed because of the gridlock.

They changed their view of who controls both parties within the recent past?
