New poll: Congress, at 31 points underwater, is at its highest approval rating in years

With all you’ve been reading about Americans losing faith in institutions, and about angry citizens accosting members of Congress, this has to be one of the more interesting poll results you’ve seen this month.

The latest NBC/Wall Street Journal poll has the public approval rating of Congress at 29 percent, with 60 percent disapproving. That might not sound great, but this is the highest approval rating and the lowest disapproval that any Congress has gotten since 2009 in this poll.
