to 9%, the lowest in the 39-year history of asking the question.
The previous low point was 10%, registered twice in 2012.
First Read: “This is worse than 1992, when the public had collective disapproval for
Washington Democrats (in Congress) and Washington Republicans (in the
White House). This is truly unchartered territory.”
