You would think. it's crazy when congress has an 18% approval rating or whatever (lowest in history), and when it comes time to vote, almost all of them get re-elected. |
Funny thing about that is Congress almost always has a low approval rating yet generally the approval of the representatives from their local areas is quite high. Meaning they like their guys but not the Congress as a whole. Think usually the main reason is they don't feel they get enough done or too slow to react which is setup on purpose by our Constitution to make sure they dont' have too much power. And if the reason is they don't act in their interests then they were never intended to do that in the first place. Seems that Americans aren't necessarily displeased with the Congress's actions but the setup of Congress in general.
Another reason why I don't trust the masses haha. Actually almost all public opinion things can be broken down to a science of how they will think (had a sizable portion on public opinion in one of my political science classes). Given certain events and certain scenarios its pretty predictable of how they will react or think.
