The Gallup organization has just released a poll that suggests Americans are not thrilled with the performance of Congress. Here’s Gallup’s description of the survey:
The latest Gallup Panel survey, conducted Oct. 25-28, 2007, asked Americans to say whether they are “pleased,� “neutral,� “disappointed,� or “angry� about the way the Democrats in Congress have been dealing with seven major issues confronting the nation.
Not surprisingly, one of the “seven major issues confronting the nation� was health care. Here’s how the performance of our congressional majority was rated by the public on that issue:
PLEASED: 12%
NEUTRAL:Â 28%
DISAPPOINTED: 43%Â
ANGRY: 17%Â
I guess Pelosi, Reid & Company will need to more than demagogue SCHIP to get decent marks from the voters on health care.

Actually, you can read the poll in another way- that people are angry with Congress for not being more radical. The only way you can’t read it is support for your side.
