Congress consistently gets low approval ratings. True, not often as low as now, but always pretty low.
The Repubs lost their majority for a couple of reasons. One was because people wanted to send a message to Bush that they were displeased with the war. One was because they were fed up with the corruption and abuse of position. So, here we are a year later, the war is still going on, though the situation is somewhat improved. There's still plenty of corruption. The headlines are filled with infighting and partisan bullshit. So what's really changed? Not very much. Why should people have any higher opinion of Congress now that a different party is in charge? By any objective measure, the only thing that's different is which interest groups get stroked.
