Assignment:

We have been focusing quite a bit on the upcoming mid-term elections, discussed previously, the president's party typically loses seats in Congress during these election cycles. Even so, the vast majority of U.S Representatives and Senators will be re-elected if history is any guide. A recent Gallup Poll measured public approval of Congress at 12%. This confirms other recent polls that show public approval of Congress at an all-time low. However, people tend to generally approve of their own congressional representatives and rate their performance much higher. What accounts for this apparent contradiction? Why do you believe there is such dissatisfaction with Congress today? Please be specific and support your opinion with facts.
