An Improvement

Not surprisingly, polls are showing an increase in the public's support of, and confidence in, Congress. The disapproval % for the branch still is higher than the approval %, but the gap has significantly narrowed since November. The same polls show, again not surprisingly, that the President's approvals are staying at their long-time lows, with no boost from the State of the Union.

So kudos to the new Congress. Now get back to work, you damn bums.
