Nine Percent

If you had a 9% approval rating from your bridge club members about your card playing ability this probably means you'd better take up darts. What if you had 10 golfing acquaintances but when polled only 9% of them said they enjoy your company. Worse yet, what if only 9% of your family members wanted to go on vacation with you---to Hawaii---and you were footing the bill.
You know where I'm going with this. Only 9% of the American people approve of the job being done by our Congress; Senate and House combined. Problem is, and this was illustrated immediately after the election, the American voter thought the Republicans controlled both houses.
So, let me go through this again: Harry Reid is the Majority Leader of the Senate and Nancy Pelosi is the Speaker of the House. She is still third in line to be President, directly after Barry and Joe.
