Poll: Americans Down on Congress

While the New York Times is gearing up to charge online readers for its op-ed pages, the Wall Street Journal earns our appreciation by taking the opposite tack and providing free access to articles that might have blogger appeal. Today's example: A new poll that shows Americans have a sharply diminished view of Congress' performance:

A new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll shows that disapproval of Congress's performance is higher than it has been since 1994, the year voters swept Democrats out of power on Capitol Hill. Americans have grown gloomier about the nation's direction, the economy and Iraq, and by 65%-17% they say Congress doesn't share their priorities.

Even the poll results can be viewed for free here.(pdf).
