As members of Congress headed home for recess to tend to their states and districts, registered voters had this to say about them: most of us don't believe you deserve re-election. A USA Today/Gallup survey conducted July 25-27 found that only 36 percent of voters say most members of Congress deserve re-election, the lowest ebb in any Gallup measurement during any recent midterm or election year. You have to go back to 1992 to find the last previous low, which was 29 percent.
Of course, just like generic polls about which party voters would like to see control Congress, surveys like these don't really reflect how people will vote when it comes to their own representative. In fact, when asked if the representatives of their own districts should be re-elected, 57 percent of voters answered "yes."
