The job approval rating for the U.S. Congress remained low in March with 21% of Americans approving of lawmakers’ performance and 76% of Americans disapproving, according to the latest Gallup poll.
Those figures have remained relatively constant since October amid falling Democratic support for Democrats in Congress, Gallup noted. The overall congressional approval rating had reached a 12-year high of 36% in March 2021 after the party took control of both the U.S. House and U.S. Senate.
The approval rating among Democrats alone had surged to 61% between December 2020 and February 2021 but fell to 26% by January and has since increased to 35%.
Five percent of Republicans approve of the congressional job performance while 93% disapprove.
The poll was conducted before the tumultuous Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson.
President Joe Biden’s approval rating has also fallen to the lowest levels of his presidency over concern for his handling of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and rising inflation, an NBC poll found Sunday.
Forty percent of those who responded to the survey said they approved of Biden’s job performance overall, the poll results show. His job approval rating has gradually fallen since April 2021 when 53% of Americans said they approved of his performance.
However, that poll was conducted between March 18-22 before Biden criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin and said he “cannot remain in power” during a speech in Poland last weekend amid the war in Ukraine.

Democrats don’t care about public approval, their agenda to substantly change the character of government is foremost in their minds, up to now they have had great sway over the election process to get their people, radicals, elected which may soon come to and end in the fall of this year. They are relying too much on their cronies to get them through, big tech and the media both of which are losing popularity with thinking people. The party’s biggest mistake was getting Joe Biden elected because his administration is bringing to light all the faults in the liberal woke agenda that had been hidden for so long!
AND it makes you wonder, WHAT the hell are th 34%, who DO THINK CONGRESS is doing a good job, are smoking?
The Congress (House and Senate) and the President criminal Joe, all complicit in the destruction of our freedoms and our Country and yet there are sheep / communists who support our destruction.
THE PEOPLE just cannot wait till the Republicans capable of accomplishing what they set out to do in promise take over,,,,,,and get the impeachments done right.
I still say they should take down and Impeach Joe and Kamala together, right after electing Trump to Speaker of the House who can step in as President and save the last two years of a wasted Biden administration. There is nothing in the Constitution that says the Speaker of the house has to be an elected Representative. God in his Justice would take back from the people of darkness what they stole from the people of light. As a Bonus he could run again for a total of 10 not 8 years of a Making America Great Again Presidency.
You give the spineless GOP, too much credit…
The well known problem with approval of Congress is everyone disapproves because of the other party. They will tell a pollster how much they hate Congress but vote for their own representative all over again. Most people don’t pay enough attention to even know what they stand for or what they voted for. If the stupid American actually mails in his liberal ballot he will vote for the only name on it that he’s heard before.
The Democrat Party wins most of their followers because they are ill-informed or have low intellect. Their propaganda or narrative works on an emotional level, not on the intellectual level.
Democrat party supporters operate strictly on emotion, with very little rational thought and who simply do not understand reality or basic economics. Democrats are willing to destroy themselves and everyone around them before they will agree to compromise their failed policies and destructive fabricated lies and beliefs.
Democrats see everything as subjective, how they feel things should be,
their whole world is subjective, Not Objective.
To Democrats, Gender, Truth, Facts, Reality and History are all irrelevant, If the Democrats do not WANT to believe them or they disagree with them. Democrats will just make up their own, Gender, Truth, Facts, Reality and History to fit what they WANT to believe or fits into the Con or Deception that they are running at the time.
OR THEY ARE fellow traitors, like those in office!!
And you had best believe that not a one of them could care less. It’s all about personal enrichment and financial gain for themselves. And power.
To them, the voice of the American people has been reduced to cries of pain—and so long as they hear that, they feel that they are succeeding—regardless of what any poll shows. The complicit players in pushing the Liberal agenda are out for themselves—they have been promised great reward—and they are fighting tooth and nail to see it come to fruition.
Congress is jammed pack with fools and clowns. The only member with an ounce of integrity is Rand Paul. A few days ago Chuckie Schumer chastised big corporations for stock buybacks and dividends. He said they should use the money in more productive ways. This from a gubment worker with NO fiscal consideration or responsibility. After all it’s not his tax dollars. And soon the Supreme Court will have a new judge with NO integrity. Down the big tube the US goes.
76% Of Americans Disapprove Of Congress’ Performance
Wow that is low , I would think it should be at least 90 %
