Congress's approval numbers are "so low."

Now he's just making shit up:

As noted, however, Reid is hardly alone in this regard. This kind of thing may explain why Congress's approval numbers are so low.

The latest ABC/Washington Post poll has Congressional approval at 44%. That's not only an increase of 8% in the same poll since the elections (with disapprove down 6%) -- it's the highest overall approval numbers for Congress in over two years.

A good historical graph of Congressional approval is here. Also note that 44% is a better number than Congress was getting in the first few months of '95 after the GOP took control in the midterms of '94.

Feel free to tell Putz. He seems confused again.
