As bad as Bush's ratings were the congress and senate's ratings were lower. President Obama's Ratings are falling. I think the main reason Our latest politians are rated so low is that we know what they do almost before they do it and judge them before what they did has had a chance to work. Look at the stimulas bill. the congrssional budget office has judged it a bad bill with little or no chance to fix the economy. Let's hope there're wrong.
