Congress Now Less Popular Than Zombies, IRS, Hemorrhoids, And Witches
At this point, the polls are pretty consistent: Americans are angry about the budget and shutdown shenanigans in Washington, but theyre angrier at Republicans than they are at Democrats. Which should tell you something about who is really to blame for this mess.
But Public Policy Polling took things a step further, asking people whether they preferred Congress to a series of ailments, celebrities, serial killers and oft-loathed government agencies. Here's what the polling group found:
Americans currently have a higher opinion of witches (46/32), jury duty (73/18) and hemorrhoids (53/31) than Congress. Republicans seem much more accepting of Congress over hemorrhoids compared to other voters -- 41% favored Congress more than the diseases, as opposed to only 25% of Democrats and 27% of Independents.
