A new PPP poll has found that Congress is now less popular than lice, but more popular than Lindsey Lohan and meth labs.
According to PPP, Congress now has a 9% approval rating. Since the number has gone so low, the pollster decided to try to measure America’s dislike of Congress but comparing the legislative branch to 26 things and people who are generally disliked.
Congress was less popular than, “root canals (32 for Congress and 56 for the dental procedure), NFL replacement refs (29-56), head lice (19-67), the rock band Nickelback (32-39), colonoscopies (31-58), Washington DC political pundits (34-37), carnies (31-39), traffic jams (34-56), cockroaches (43-45), Donald Trump (42-44), France (37-46), Genghis Khan (37-41), used-car salesmen (32-57), and Brussels sprouts (23-69).”
Congress did manage to be more popular than, “telemarketers (45-35), John Edwards (45-29), the Kardashians (49-36), lobbyists (48-30), North Korea (61-26), the ebola virus (53-25), Lindsay Lohan (45-41), Fidel Castro (54-32), playground bullies (43-38), meth labs (60-21), communism (57-23), and gonorrhea (53-28).
So Congress ranks somewhere below cockroaches, but above the Ebola virus? This seems about right to me. The big surprise here is that Congress remains more popular than meth labs. I would have thought all the publicity meth labs have gotten from Breaking Bad would have pulled them ahead of Congress by now.
