14 things Americans like more than Congress right now

Americans really don’t like Congress right now.

According to a Public Policy Polling study released Tuesday, just 8 percent of registered voters nationwide approve of the job Congress is doing.

To put that into perspective, Americans have a higher opinion of the following 14 things than they do Congress:

 

Wall Street


 

Witches

Hemorrhoids


 

Jury Duty


 

Dog Poop


 

Toenail Fungus


 

Cockroaches


 

The Internal Revenue Service


 

Their Mother-in-law


 

The Department of Motor Vehicles


 

Potholes


 

Public Radio Fundraising Drives


 

Hipsters


 

Zombies


 

There are a few things that the American people like less than Congress, however. They include Russian President Vladimir Putin, “twerking” extraordinaire Miley Cyrus (as well as the dance move itself), former N.Y.C. Mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner, the Ebola virus, serial killer Charles Manson, actresses Lindsey Lohan and Honey Boo Boo, the drug heroin and the nation of Syria.

Public Policy Polling surveyed 502 registered voters nationwide via telephone from October 4-6, 2013. The margin of error for the study is +/- 4.4 percent at a 95 percent confidence level.
