WA****NGTON, May 14 (UPI) - The approval rating of the U.S. Congress
dropped to near-record levels and is lower than U.S. President George
Bush's
mark, a Gallup poll indicates.
The telephone survey of 1,017 U.S. adults indicates 18 percent of those
interviewed May 8-11 approve of the current Congress. The score matches
record lows from similar Gallup polls in August 2007 and March 1992.
Gallup said Wednesday the reason for the low approval rating is because
"rank-and-file Democrats are providing no sup****t cu****on for the
Democratic-controlled institution."

"I understand MSNBC has suspended Mr. Imus," Obama told ABC News, "but I
would also say that there's nobody on my staff who would still be working
for me if they made a comment like that about anybody of any ethnic group.
And I would hope that NBC ends up having that same attitude."
