US satisfaction rates are down to 11%, according to a new Gallup poll finds that continued high unemployment, soldiers still dying in wars and a totally crazy stock market, the national mood is dropping fast.
These Gallup stats point to Americans growing increasingly angry since 2004, when our national satisfaction level slipped below 50%. It went below 40% in 2005 and 30% in 2009. WTH?
Meanwhile, President Obama went on vacation following a bus tour, which took some wrong turns, while his approval numbers have hit the lowest numbers of his presidency: According to the latest figures, it's a 40% approval rate. Of his handling of the economy, only 26% approval.
The lowest figures are for members of US Congress, with 13%... How low can they go?
