(POLL) 41% give Congress ‘poor’ rating


The following is from Rasmussen Reports.


According to the latest Rasmussen Reports poll, a growing number of voters say they think Congress is doing a better job than last year. However, many still rate its performance poorly—and most agree with a Republican congresswoman’s sharp critique of the GOP majority.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national survey finds that 33% of likely voters say Congress is doing a good or excellent job, up from just 15% in March 2024. Still, 41% say Congress is doing a poor job, though that’s down from 59% a year ago.

Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene recently criticized congressional Republicans, saying they are “not delivering on the mandate given to them by the American people.” Sixty-one percent (61%) of voters say they agree, including 33% who strongly agree. Just 27% say they disagree, and 11% are unsure.

Even among those who rate Congress poorly, nearly half (49%) say they strongly agree with Greene’s comment. Agreement crosses party lines—65% of Democrats, 60% of Republicans, and 57% of unaffiliated voters say they at least somewhat agree.

While 49% of Republican voters say Congress is doing a good or excellent job, only 24% of Democrats and unaffiliated voters say the same. Fifty-two percent (52%) of Democrats, 22% of Republicans, and 47% of unaffiliated voters give Congress a poor rating.

Among voters who supported Donald Trump in last year’s election, 49% rate Congress positively, compared to just 15% of those who voted for Kamala Harris.

The survey of 1,047 likely voters was conducted May 6-8, 2025. The margin of sampling error is ±3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence.
