As we approach the 2006 election congressional approval is nearing the levels of 1994.
We get a flashy headline and a story suggesting political upheaval is around the corner.
Those of you who make it to page 2 of the article will find:
"Thus, while 61 percent of respondents said they disapproved of the way Congress was handling its job, just 29 percent said they disapproved of the way their own 'representative is handling his or her job.'”
Huh? How does that work?

Maybe constituents simply appreciate the effort from the representatives?
