As the US Congress is in recess, the American public is continually losing faith in their federal representatives.

According to a new Gallup poll conducted on August 13-16th 2007, it was concluded that only 18% of Americans approve of the job Congress is doing.

Check out this interesting result from the poll:

The nine-point drop in Congress' job approval rating from last month to this month has come exclusively from Democrats and independents, with Democrats' ratings dropping 11 points (from 32% to 21%) and independents' ratings dropping 13 points (from 30% to 17%).

At the same time, the Gallup poll also shows President Bush currently has a 32% approval rating.

Can it get any worse for Democrats leading the US Congress?
