The Republican-led Congress is wildly unpopular.

Just 23% of Americans say congressional Republicans are keeping the promises they made during last fall’s campaign, while 65% say they are not.

Nearly four-in-ten (37%) say the new Congress has accomplished less than they expected, while 4% say it has accomplished more than expected. About half (53%) say its accomplishments are in line with what they expected.

On both measures, the public’s views are far more negative than they were of the Democratic-led Congress in March 2007, after the Democrats regained control of both chambers following several years of Republican control.

    “…23% of Americans say congressional Republicans are keeping the promises they made.”

    Who are these people?

      sounds like the tea party base, around 23%.

        Oh you mean the dumbest of the dumb? Yeah, I agree.

      Fox News viewers?
      The Blaze “readers”?
      WND “readers”?
      People who sit in their trailer, fondling their guns and worrying about the “scary” people outside?
      The 4% of Americans with SMI?

        WND readers are the scariest.

      • wpadon May 22nd, 2015 at 3:04 pm

        Is anyone sure that WND “readers” are literate?

        • Jimmy Smith May 22nd, 2015 at 4:16 pm

          This is why I put “readers” in quotations …

      I dunno, but if you see any of them, please check their collar id tags and notify their keepers.

    These polls are nothing new. Polls do nothing to change things. Congress lives in a bubble and members refuse to see the anger and frustration of America’s citizens. They don’t care and will continue to do exactly what they do which is NOTHING…

    • Jimmy Smith May 22nd, 2015 at 10:40 am

      And We the People keep returning them to Congress over and over and … repeat, ad nauseam

      Isn’t this the definition of Insanity – doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results?
