I'm not sure if this is an outlier or a solid number. Either way, it's not good for the President. Yes, Congress is polling at 5%. No, that doesn't really matter, because we kind of expect our Congressmen to behave like morons. As long as they can hook us up with a tour of the Capitol and avoid getting into a scandal where they're caught doing cocaine off an underage Chilean prostitute's backside, we're pretty happy.
I mean, at this point, getting hit in the head with a brick probably has a higher approval rating than Congress. I'm not absolving our Congressional folks, but let's face it, they don't really have anything to lose at this point.
But we kind of expect more from the President that we do from Congress. We expect him to be a leader. We expect him to get things done, even when there is opposition. He's supposed to be in charge. We expect him to be, you know, Presidential.
If this 37% number is correct, and I'm not sure it is, this has to be close to rock bottom for him. There has to be at least 30-something percent of people out there who will support him no matter what. The next big movement is going to be on or just before October 17. The Democrats are predicting Armageddon, global depression, and and mass chaos if the debt ceiling isn't raised by then.
If that day comes and goes (and nothing happens) I think we'll see the Democrats do some talking. Now, I'm not saying that nothing will happen, but based on all the dire predictions from the Democrats about sequestration (now proven false) let's just say I'm skeptical that it's going to be the end of the world.
