Gallup: For First Time in Fifteen Years, Republican Congressmen Now Enjoy Higher Job Approval Than Democratic Ones

Republicans haven't hit this level (40%) of approval since 2005, when they were still coasting on historic approval following 9/11.

Republicans have gained six points of approval since the Democrats impeached Trump. The Democrats lost three points, to fall to 35% approval.

In general, congressional Democrats have historically had slightly higher job approval ratings than congressional Republicans. The average approval rating since 1999, when Gallup began periodically tracking both, is 41% for the Democrats in Congress and 35% for the Republicans in Congress. Yet, Republicans have edged out Democrats a number of times over the 21-year trend.

Pierre Delecto's alt-account, "Mitt Romney," has seen his approval rating surge.

Among Democrats.

He’s come a long way from “murderous robber baron who tortures dogs” https://t.co/Jyns11Z1EJ

Note that Pierre Delecto is unpopular with both Republicans and Independents.

It's only Democrats who approve of him.
