NP Rank:
Congress Approval Down to 29%
Apparently, the do-nothing except rant and rave and shout, "We've lost, we've lost" Congress has not met with the approval of the American people regardless of how much discomfort they have with the way the Iraq war seems to be going. I say, "seems to be going" because the reports we get from Iraqis and from embedded journalists is at great variance to the picture being painted by the mainstream press.

Both ratings are slightly lower than 2007 averages
