Lawmaker Approval Hits New Low

A new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds the number of Americans who approve of their representative in Congress is at an all-time low.

Key findings: 51% said that they disapprove of the way their member of Congress is “handling his or her job” while 41% approve of how their member handles his or her work. It’s the first time in 25 years that the number of Americans who disapprove of their own Congress member has risen over 50 percent.
