Poll: 76 Percent Disapprove of Democrat-Controlled Congress
Wendell Husebø 1 Apr 2022
Seventy-six percent of Americans disapprove of the Democrat-controlled Congress, a Friday Gallup poll revealed.
Just 21 percent approve of the way Democrats are running Congress.
Congress’s approval has tanked in the last year. In April of 2021, Congress held a 31 percent approval rating amid President Biden’s costly spending package meant to combat coronavirus. That package is widely believed to have fueled inflation instead. Yet the Democrat-led Congress is not struggling to overcome its self-inflicted challenges.
Congress’s declining support is a result of Democrats bucking their own party. According to Gallup:
Between December 2020 and February 2021, Democrats’ approval of Congress surged 50 percentage points to 61%. This spanned the Democratic Party securing majority control in both the House and Senate for the first time in over a decade, as well as Biden being sworn in as president.
Likely reflecting some legislative delays in passing Democratic initiatives on infrastructure, social spending and voting rights bills, Democrats’ approval sank to 38% by June 2021 and to 26% at the start of 2022.
Congressional approval among Democrats has since partially rebounded to 35%.The Democrats’ 35 percent approval of Congress is higher than how independents view the legislative chambers. Among independents, only 18 percent approve of Congress. Only eight percent of Republicans approve.
