"Dissatisfaction with Congress matches record; Voters slightly more critical of Republicans" by Allison Kopicki, New York Times / September 17, 2011
NEW YORK - Only 6 percent of registered voters said most members of Congress had earned reelection, while 84 percent said it was time to give someone new a chance, a historic low for the New York Times/CBS poll.
Dissatisfaction with Congress ran deep across both parties, with more than 8 in 10 of Republicans and Democrats saying it was time to elect new representatives....
Just 33 percent of voters said their representative in Congress deserved to be reelected, and 57 percent said it was time to elect someone else - another record level of dissatisfaction.
Democratic and independent voters were slightly more frustrated with their representatives, with about 6 in 10 of each saying it was time for a new person. This was not entirely surprising, with Republicans in control of the House. But nearly half of Republican voters also said their representative did not deserve reelection....
The current dissatisfaction with Congress may or may not point to another “change’’ election in 2012. The 2006, 2008, and 2010 elections were considered to be referendums on voters’ disapproval with things in Washington. But for some, like Nancy Lewis, a retiree living in San Clemente, Calif., another election may not change anything in the nation’s capital.
“Politics was part of my life, and now it’s just extremely disappointing,’’ she said. “Genuinely concerned citizens who go to the voting booth don’t have any choices. They have to decide between the lesser of two evils, and that’s a pathetic place to be.’’
That's certainly where we are, America. Corporate cash controls both parties. We went from Republican control to Democrat House and got a surge in Iraq and no check on Bush. Gave Democrats control and got nothing but a s***ty health tax! Republicans gain the House and we get an attack on social services and another war!
