Approval Proof

As regular readers know, recent polls have show Congress to be immensely unpopular. Conservatives point to it as a sign of support for conservative policies. Liberals say it's a sign of disapproval of Republicans blocking legislation and unhappiness about Dems not more forcibly pushing for an end to the Iraq war.

Well, how about this?

The Democratic leadership in Congress "has lost some support among Americans -- but not so much that the public wants Republicans back in charge," according to a new CNN/Opinion Research Poll.

While 49% say they "disapproved of what Democratic leaders in Congress have done since taking over in January," some 57% "said they believe Democratic control of Congress is good for the country."

That would seem to settle the question wouldn't it?
