Found over at Public Policy Polling, it appears that Congress is really not popular at all, especially when more people approve of cockroaches. The following chart, digested from the article, shows Congressional approval compared to some other things:
| Compared with | Opponent | Congress |
| North Korea | 26 | 61 |
| Meth Labs | 21 | 60 |
| Lobbyists | 30 | 58 |
| Communism | 23 | 57 |
| Fidel Castro | 32 | 54 |
| Gonorrhea | 28 | 53 |
| Ebola | 25 | 53 |
| Kardashians | 36 | 49 |
| Lindsey Lohan | 41 | 45 |
| Telemarketers | 35 | 45 |
| John Edwards | 29 | 45 |
| Playground Bullies | 38 | 43 |
| Cockroaches | 45 | 43 |
| Donald Trump | 44 | 42 |
| France | 46 | 37 |
| Genghis Khan | 41 | 37 |
| Traffic Jams | 56 | 34 |
| DC Pundits | 37 | 34 |
| Root Canals | 56 | 32 |
| Used Car Salesmen | 57 | 32 |
| Nickelback | 39 | 32 |
| Colonoscopies | 58 | 31 |
| Carnies | 39 | 31 |
| NFL Replacement Refs | 56 | 29 |
| Brussels Sprouts | 69 | 23 |
| Lice | 67 | 19 |
Congress can take comfort in knowing that they are more popular than LiLo or North Korea, but that’s meagre comfort, given that they are less than 1/3 as popular as lice.
Think they’ll pay attention to this recent poll?
Nah.
The Old Wolf has spoken.
