If you were ever wondering why Congress has a 95% incumbency rate despite an approval rating in the high teens, this study may be worth a read.
I think this statistic is hugely misleading. I suspect if one were to ask the people disapproving of congress whether their complaint is that it’s too liberal or too conservative or otherwise ask what they thing is wrong with it, you’d find out that the current congress is actually a “reasonable” compromise situation.
