rasmussenreports.com
Just 11% of American voters give the outgoing Congress good or excellent marks. That's down from 13% two weeks ago and 15% on Election Day.
The latest Rasmussen Reports tracking survey finds that 38% say Congress has done a "fair" job while 47% give it a poor rating.
Voter dissatisfaction with Congress comes through loud and clear in this survey. Just 14% say that Congress has passed legislation that improved the quality of American life, down from 17% on Election Day. Sixty-one percent (61%) say Congress hasn't done a thing to improve the lives of most Americans.
Looking ahead, 45% say it is at least somewhat likely that Congress will act seriously to address important problems in the coming year. A slightly larger number, 51%, say serious Congressional action is not likely.
An overwhelming majority (74%) believes that most members of Congress are more interested in advancing their own careers than helping people (13%). Earlier in 2005, a Rasmussen Reports survey found that Americans were more likely to trust a used-car salesman than a Member of Congress.
