Asking the Wrong Question

There is another new poll out today that shows President Shit-For-Brains' approval rating at an all-time low. I'm not here to dicker about that; the all-time low is still way to high for the worst president in history, but I am here to talk about the other number the poll uncovers. The approval rating of congress is even lower...

The latest poll also found Americans growing more discontented with the Democratic-led Congress, with 64 percent disapproving of Congress' job performance. Only 23 percent approved, down 8 points since April.

The problem I have with this is that the poll tells you nothing about what the country is really feeling about the Democrats in Congress. If you think they have been to hard on President SFB (you fool!), you disapprove of the Democrats. If you think they have been to easy on President SFB (you patriot!), you disapprove of the Democrats. "Do you approve of them?" is asking the wrong question if the purpose of a poll is to gage the feelings of the people being polled. It's the right question to ask if you want to garner low numbers for the Democrats.
