"The U.S. Congress is in shambles-marked by historic inactivity and an abdication of its most basic responsibilities granted by the Constitution, wracked by personal and professional scandals, resignations and the threat of expulsions."
"According to Gallup, the most recent polling period finds American approval of Congress is at only 10%, which is only 1% off the all-time low of 9% recorded amid a fall 2013 federal government shutdown."
"Republican survey respondents have gone from voicing 63% support for Congress in March of 2025, to only 20% now, indicating a significant loss of support from its base."
Congress is experiencing unprecedented dysfunction, marked by scandals and a significant decline in public approval. Recent Gallup polling shows only 10% approval, close to an all-time low. The approval rating has dropped sharply, particularly among Republican voters, who have gone from 63% support in March 2025 to just 20%. This decline reflects widespread dissatisfaction with Congress's inability to fulfill its constitutional responsibilities and serve the American people effectively.
