Yes, Americans hate Congress — Market Mad House
5 min readJan 24, 2020
There is data confirming the popular belief that ordinary Americans hate Congress.
By my count just 18 out of 100 U.S. Senators had approval ratings over 50% in 4th Quarter 2019. Therefore, 82 out of 100, or 82% of Senators cannot get over half their constituents to like them.
I based my calculation on The Morning Consult’s Senator Approval Rankings. I think Morning Consult’s findings show the idea that most Americans are comfortable with their Congresspeople is false.
