President Barack Obama and the Democrats fared a bit better. The poll, conducted by the Washington Post and ABC News and released last week, found that only 54 percent and 61 percent said they disapprove of Obama and Democrats respectively.
Republicans' approval rating has been terrible for years, and Congress as a whole is almost universally disliked.
The findings may not have a strong bearing on the GOP's midterm elections chances. Recent polls show the Republicans have an edge in both the Senate and the House.
However, as The New York Times notes, the race is far from over. According to the The Upshot, the GOP's chances of a Senate majority may come down to "who's more unloved, Obama or the GOP."
As November nears, Democrats are doubling down efforts to keep the Senate. Last week, Obama told NBC's "Meet The Press" that "it makes a big difference if we've got at least one branch in Congress," even if they can't take back the House.
With Obama at 46%, Congress at 17% approval, the question becomes: Whom do they serve?
Certainly not the US Citizens. They do as they please, and the scandal merry-go-round is the evidence.
They care only for riches and glory, and make perpetual sacrifice at the Altar of Money.
They are not the first Government to do so, and there will likely be more of the same.
But, as history shows, such governments are not long for this world.
