Americans Losing Confidence in Congress

Another interesting poll from Rasmussen:

67% trust their judgment more than the average member of Congress. Even more surprising 44% think a group of people randomly selected from the phone book could address the nation’s problems better than Congress! Only 37% disagree with them. This does not bode well for the Democrats so early into holding majorities in the House, Senate, and Presidency.

It is clear that the stimulus package is starting to take a toll on the Democrats.  Public support is falling not only for the package, but for the party that is pushing it.  The “bold and swift action” that Obama is pressing for could end up expensive if an equally swift economic reaction does not result from its passing.

    Good. I hope the stimulus package absolutely devastates the Democrats in Congress and their little RINO pets who agree with all this junk.

    Of course, I’m mad at my own party for getting rid of small government conservatives in favor of Bush and his jerk sycophants.

    I keep hoping this current administration will result in the same thing we saw after Carter — a rejection of this “the government is your friend” nonsense and a preference for honest-to-goodness conservatives.

    I really think this stimulus package will become to Obama what the Iraq War was to Bush. It’ll end up burying him.

    Great post. I have an article coming up on Associated Content dealing with this. Hopefully they’ll review it and get it up soon, since it’s already slightly outdated.

    Thanks for buying an EC ad too. I’m going to add you to both of my blogrolls. Please check out my sites, read around, and if you’d like, link back. Thanks!
