In April of 2021, Congress held a 31 percent approval rating amid President Biden\u2019s costly spending package meant to combat coronavirus. That package is widely believed to have fueled inflation instead. Yet the Democrat-led Congress is not struggling to overcome its self-inflicted challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Congress\u2019s declining support is a result of Democrats bucking their own party. According to Gallup:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Between December 2020 and February 2021, Democrats\u2019 approval of Congress surged 50 percentage points to 61%. This spanned the Democratic Party securing majority control in both the House and Senate for the first time in over a decade, as well as Biden being sworn in as president.<\/li>\n<li>Likely reflecting some legislative delays in passing Democratic initiatives on infrastructure, social spending and voting rights bills, Democrats\u2019 approval\u00a0sank to 38% by June 2021\u00a0and\u00a0to 26% at the start of 2022.<\/li>\n<li>Congressional approval among Democrats has since partially rebounded to 35%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Democrats\u2019 35 percent approval of Congress is higher than how independents view the legislative chambers. Among independents, only 18 percent approve of Congress. Only eight percent of Republicans approve.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>As a result of the low approval rating, Democrats are struggling to maintain control of the chambers heading into the midterm elections.\u00a0The midterm <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/03\/23\/battleground-poll-75-percent-swing-voters-say-democrats-out-touch-reality\/\">outlook<\/a> is\u00a0so grim for Democrats that 55 powerful House Democrats are reportedly stiffing the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee\u00a0(DCCC). The members are failing to pay the dues they owe, likely because of the chances Republicans will retake the chamber.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has reportedly attempted to collect the dues from her members, but Pelosi is struggling with her own problems.
