Change in Congress?

Posted at 8:45 AM on August 8, 2006 by Mike Mulcahy

The Washington Post and ABC have an interesting poll today showing the percentage of people who approve of their own representative's performance is at the lowest level since 1994. That of course was the year the Republicans took over. The paper says the "own representative" stat is key because people generally rank their own representative higher than Congress in general.

But the news is not all good for Democrats, as most voters say they're not sure what the party stands for.

But with gas prices headed up and things in Iraq still looking grim where is the good news these days for the GOP?
