According to Fox News, President Bush's approval rating is at 34.4%, and the Congressional approval rating is at 23.8%. Considering the blind public hatred towards George W. Bush and the Republican party which he currently represents, why does the Democrat-controlled Congress have an even lower approval rating? And as a side note, why is it that the biggest fundamental job of Congress, the Federal Budget, was not submitted on time, the last time being 2002, the last time the Democrats controlled at least one House of Congress?

To me, the ratings suggest that disappointing high expectations causes greater dissatisfaction than meeting low expectations. As for why Congress bears no responsibility -- I disagree, they do.
