With the health care debate raging in Washington, D.C., there’s one change Americans clearly believe in: Members of Congress have now surpassed corporate CEOs to hold the least favorably regarded profession in the country.

Rasmussen Reports periodically asks adults their views of nine major professions. In both June and February, corporate chief executive officers rated at the very bottom, no surprise really given the country’s economic straits. Members of Congress in both surveys came in next to last - but not any more.

Just one-out-of-four Americans (25%) have a favor opinion of members of Congress. Seventy-two percent (72%) view them unfavorably. There’s some intensity in that perception, too. Only four percent (4%) have a very favorable view of congressmen, while 37% view them very unfavorably.

Even 56% of Democrats have an unfavorable view of Congress although their party controls both the House and the Senate. Of course, their opposition pales next to the 86% of Republicans and 81% of adults not affiliated with either party who have an unfavorable opinion of Congress.

But then voters are evenly divided over whether a group of people randomly selected from the phone book would do a better job than the current Congress.

Let's see if this pace holds up until the damn political ads start running next year....

The voters have to not become apathetic, and maybe 2010 will make a difference...

However, when BHO was elected, his approval was 70-90%. Now he's below 50%. Democrats are waking up and shaking of the Magical Obama Pixie Dust that has clouded them since last year. NOT racist opposition.... His numbers are falling within his own party, and Independents are getting a reality slap.

Congress went from approvals in the teens, to borderline single digits....

Watch Harry Reid, and Jack Murtha, my two favorite No Blindfold for You candidates, move to the middle to try to keep their jobs starting soon. Harry Reid already stated Nevada "can;t afford" a Public Option....

Appeasing bastard. This country can;t afford people like these anymore either....

I did not include Nancy P....because the Kalifornians only put their bongs and methadone down long enough to re-elect her...
Plus she provides the good Kool-Aid at polling places.

This certainly rings true to whomever it was on here that once had the signature line that read, "Don't tell my mother I'm a politician. She thinks I play the piano in a whorehouse."

Pretty much sums up how folks feel about 'em.
