We all have seen the damage that

the horribly unqualified and incompetent members of trumps cabinet and federal judges Republicans have installed have done. The Republican congress needs to be exposed by the Democratic party for this until their popularity sinks to trump levels ( although his are still shockingly too high ) and they fear losing their position in government. trump is the face of stupidity and incompetence the Republicans are the reason. Enough with trump time to punish those responsible.

Even worse than Trump: Disapproval for Republican-led Congress reaches 86%
On most of the major issues of the day, Americans of different parties and ideologies tend not to see eye to eye, but I’m pleased to report that there’s one thing 86% of the country can agree on: This Congress sure is awful.

Americans’ approval of Congress has fallen to 10%, barely above its all-time low of 9%, while disapproval has climbed to 86%, tying the record high for the institution. […] Congress’ approval ratings have been mostly underwater since 1974, averaging 28% approval and 65% disapproval. More recently, approval has remained below 30% for most of the past five years, with sustained stretches in the teens.

The only other time in the past half-century when Congress had a lower approval rating was in the fall of 2013, when Republican leaders shut down the government and threatened a debt ceiling crisis that would’ve crashed the economy on purpose. At that point, Gallup showed Congress’ support falling to just 9% — a point lower than the pollster’s latest findings.

As recently as March 2025, Gallup showed the institution’s approval rating at a relatively high 31%, fueled largely by support among GOP voters for the Republican-led House and Senate, but that support has slid sharply over the past year, as approval for Congress among Republican voters has dropped from 63% to 20%. (Among independent voters, approval is down to 11%, while among Democratic voters, it now stands at just 3%.)
