Not getting a "warm fuzzy" about our Congress? The most recent Gallup poll (July 8-11) has you joining a crowded field of public who lacks any confidence for the Bozos on Capital Hill. 11 percent of those polled expressed confidence in Congress. That's just above the unemployment rate. I wonder if there is a correlation? That whooping score is the lowest score since 1973 in its "Confidence in Institutions" category.
Guess what other institution took a big hit - the presidency. The poll taken during June of 2009 had 51 percent rating that those polled had a great deal or a lot of confidence in the presidency. That number has now fallen to 36 percent. Lets chalk one up for President Smirkaslot.
Rankings now at the top of the list of institutions commanding high confidence are the military (76 percent), small business (66 percent), the police (59 percent), the church or organized religion (48 percent) and the medical system (40 percent).
Stay tuned for November!
