minimal trust in gallup polls. I think the trust level there may be less than 7%.

It depends on who they polled, and their agendas


They sure didn't poll me. I'd have told them there are about 7 out of the 535 worth the air they breath.... nothing close to 7%

Congress hits new low: Only 7% have confidence in the institution

Americans have confidence in the military, small business and the police. Congress? Not so much, a new Gallup Poll says.

A record-low 7% of Americans say they have "��a great deal"�� and "��quite a lot"�� of confidence in Congress -�� the lowest-rated institution among the 17 entities tested in Gallup'��s confidence survey. Public schools, banks, newspapers and television news all rate higher than the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate.

wtf? It cut me off before I finished and now my "edit" button is missing!

Nothing close to 7%..... to favor in those numbers.

Crooks and shysters! The vast majority of them!

McShame's a traitor, the Hanoi Songbird, but apparently he's OK to be a congressman, Kerry's a farce, California, Nevada, NY, SC..... do those voters have any brains?

I say we put them all "naked and afraid" on some island near Borneo for a month and whoever makes it out we allow to retire..... or just fire the lot of them.... without pensions..... most of them are millionaires from their insider trading deals anyway.

Funny how important it was to them to put term limits on the president after FDR and how little importance it has had since.
