Americans are fed up with Congress. Really fed up. A new Gallup poll shows anti-incumbent attitudes are the highest they've been in 19 years. 76% of voters say most members do not deserve re-election.

Yet about 70% of them will vote to reelect their own member, who is obviously flawless.

Correction: around 90% of them will reelect their own member! Oh the American public.

Antonio's number is more accurate, but 90% will be reelected.

Exactly. Americans hate Congress but still vote for re-electing them.

Oh, right, that's what I meant. My bad, but I think that if its just people re-electing their incumbent, then around 60% could be a good number.
