Poll: Most Americans have little confidence in Congress

Most Americans have little confidence in the way Congress is being run. Recent AP-NORC polling finds that 44 percent of Americans have hardly any confidence in the way lawmakers on Capitol Hill are handling their jobs. About half of those surveyed had “only some” confidence. And only 6 percent said they had a high level of confidence in the people running Congress. And the findings could be worse now, since the poll was taken before the government shutdown.
