OBAMA AND CONGRESS POLL
Americans have come to detest Congress ever more deeply as
it nears the end of a nasty fight over health care. But more
than half still back President Barack Obama, a bright spot
for a Democratic Party counting on its leader to help stave
off expected losses in elections this fall. The latest
Associated Press-GfK poll found that fewer people approve of
Congress than at any point in Obama's presidency.
Support has dropped significantly since January to a dismal
22 percent as the health care debate has roiled Capitol
Hill. Neither Republicans nor Democrats are safe; half of
all people say they want to fire their congressman.
