You BLEW IT, Dems, like you always do!!!
"Poll numbers for Congress lowest in history of center
President Obama’s poll numbers are dropping, but it could be worse. A national survey released yesterday gives Congress its lowest favorability ratings in the 24-year history of the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press. Only 37 percent of respondents had a favorable opinion of Congress, down from 50 percent in April, and 52 percent had an unfavorable view.
I'll bet its even lower.
While the displeasure with Republicans (40 percent favorable) is still higher than for Democrats (48 percent), the Democratic number has dropped 11 percentage points since April. “Voters are about evenly divided when asked how they would vote if the election for Congress were being held today,’’ Pew says. Most of the shift is among independents, who had backed Democrats but now say they would support Republicans, 43 percent to 38 percent.

And it JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE for them:
"House Democrats face election obstacles in 2010
Despite sweeping Democratic successes in the past two national elections, continuing job losses and President Obama’s slipping support could lead to steep losses for the party in next year’s congressional races, and might even threaten their House control.
Let us hope so. We need divided government, and maybe Ron Paul could get a committee chairmanship.
Since the mid-19th century, the party that controls the White House has lost seats in virtually every midterm election....
Except George W. Bush in 2002, right before the Iraq War, when Republicans gained control of Congress. Imagine that.
Fifty-four new Democrats were swept into the House in 2006 and 2008, helping the party claim a decisive majority as voters soured on a Republican president and embraced Obama’s message of hope and change.
That's why we are all souring -- because there is no hope and the wrong change.
Many of the new Democrats are in districts carried by Republican John McCain in last year’s presidential contest; others are in traditional swing districts. From New Hampshire to Nevada, House Democrats will be forced to defend votes on Obama’s $787 billion economic recovery package and on energy legislation viewed by many as a job-killer in a weak economy.
Why defend if they are doing what is right and good?
Would you really need to defend that? Wouldn't it be self-evident?
