This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. Now the democrats’ following is the nutroots which comprise a small minority of the population - like the ‘breasts not bombs’ group at Berkeley. They’ve really hijacked the democratic party…the things they’ve done so far have been at the very least, disappointing.
| WASHINGTON�—� Democrats pledged to take Congress in a new direction when it won control in November 2006, but less than six months after taking the reins, Americans aren’t pleased with the results, giving lawmakers an all-time low public confidence rating. |

In a Gallup poll released Thursday, only 14 percent of Americans have a “great deal” or “quite a lot” of confidence in Congress, a Gallup poll reports.

The poll shows an all-time lowest confidence rating and one of the lowest ratings for any institution in 30 years. The lowest confidence rating for Congress was 18 percent during 1991 to 1994. In 1994, the House switched from a Democratic to Republican majority after 40 years of one-party rule.

“In six months, Democrat congressional leadership has managed to bring it all back to where they began — at the lowest congressional confidence levels in Gallup’s history — at least we know Democrats can be successful at something,” NRSC spokeswoman Rebecca Fisher said in a statement.
