Even as Congress puts the finishing touches on legislation asserting more government control over the U.S. financial industry, most U.S. voters continue to believe the legislators have little idea what they're doing when it comes to the economy.
The latest national telephone survey of Likely Voters finds that just 27% are at least somewhat confident that Congress knows what it’s doing when it comes to addressing current economic problems. An overwhelming majority (72%) are not confident in Congress to address these problems. These figures include six percent (6%) who are Very Confident and 43% who are Not at All Confident.
Count me in on that 72 percent.
It isn't only the economy that voters don't trust congress on, it is across the board with the Pelosi/Reid congress holding the lowest approval rating for congress, ever, with 70.8 percent average disapproval rating according to polling from multiple organizations.
May Polls
Gallup- 75 percent disapproval of the job performance of congress with 21 percent approval.

Pelosi certainly did as promised and made this congress one that has done what no other congress ever has..... she has created the most unpopular congress ever.
Somehow I don't think that was what she meant at the time though.
