Only 37% of Americans gave Congress a high approval rating, down from 45% last month, the poll taken last week showed. A total of 53% disapproved, up from 48% in February. (Related link:Poll results)
It was the worst showing for Congress since September 1999, the year after the Republican-controlled House of Representatives impeached Clinton.
Even then, Congress had an identical 37% approval rating. It hasn't been lower since October 1997.
Meanwhile, President Bush (news - web sites)'s approval rating remained fairly steady at 52%. The number of those who disapproved of Bush's handling of his job was at 44%.
