US congress approval rating at low

The percentage of voters who give US Congress good or excellent ratings has fallen to historical low in Gallup Poll polling history. This month, just 12% say they have confidence in Congress. This is the lowest level ever for any US institution since Gallup began asking the question 35 years ago. But when pollsters ask if voters think that their local member of Congress deserves to be reelected, the response is usually positive. The United States government is divided into three separate branches—legislative, judicial, and executive—to prevent abuses of power. Congress comes under legislative branch of the US government.
