SOUTHERN ARIZONA (SGT NEWS) - The latest Gallup poll suggests that only one in five Americans approve of the job that Congress is doing, continuing the frustration among voters over Washington's handling of the War in Iraq, immigration and many domestic issues.

“According to the Nov. 11-14, 2007, poll, 20% of Americans approve of the way Congress is handling its job, while 69% disapprove. Congressional job approval ratings tied their historical low point -- an 18% reading in 1992 -- in August of this year. Americans' ratings of Congress showed some improvement in the following months, reaching 29% in mid-October before falling back again this month,” the Gallup report said.

Gallup said the 20% approval rating is among the lowest that the organization has ever recorded. “In fact, in the 173 times since 1974 that Gallup has asked Americans to rate the job Congress is doing, Congress' approval rating has been at or below 20% only four times.”

Both Republicans and Democrats appear to be unhappy with Congress, registering only 20% and 26% support, respectively. Only 14% of Independents approve of the job Congress is doing.
