So mostly everybody answers negatively.</p> <p>Polls are becoming outdated. When I get the phone call and answer the questions, it's hard to be honest because I'm thinking about why they are asking this particular question and I want to make sure I spin it the way I want my opinion to be spun. I imagine most people are aware that they're being polled and answer accordingly.</p> Fri, 18 Jul 2008 07:56:18 -0700 Ryan Jerz comment 689 at http://kirkcaraway.com http://kirkcaraway.com/18/07/2008/whats_to_blame_for_congress_low_ratings <p>Congress has set two records this year: <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/07/17/pelosi.interview/index.html?iref=mpstoryview">the lowest ever approval rating</a> and number of filibusters by Republicans, which will likely double the old record. </p> <p>Do you think these two records are related?</p> http://kirkcaraway.com/18/07/2008/whats_to_blame_for_congress_low_ratings#comments congress Fri, 18 Jul 2008 07:27:58 -0700 kc 733 at http://kirkcaraway.com
