In the poll, Gallup asked, "Do you approve or disapprove of the way Congress is handling its job?" Nineteen percent of Americans said they "approve."
"Congressional approval has averaged 30% since Gallup began measuring it in 1974," said the polling firm. "The current 19% approval among Americans is well below that average, but similar to Americans' sentiments through most of the period since January of last year."
