As a group public dissatisfaction is down, but for my Representative or Senator . . . .

Recent surveys have consistently shown public dissatisfaction with Congress, in some cases the worst approval ratings in close to a decade. Yet the level of job security for Congressional incumbents is astronomical. Only 37 House Members won 55 percent of the vote or less in 2004, and only seven lost their seats. In recent elections, up to 98 percent of House incumbents have been returned to office.

(Roll Call.)
