Get rid of gerrymandering and have open primaries. That will get politicians to represent a saner perspective.

42% approval, the average of polls as of yesterday, leave Biden no worse off than many presidents at this point in their terms.

Approval VS a choice of who they would vote for changes the picture as well.

Stop using outlier poll numbers to make an already weak case that the Dems need to go.

B402, IF we knew all polled understood the issues as fully as some of us know them, e.g. inflation and causes, then the 2/3 might mean something meaningful. How many of those 2/3 will be fully aware that Saudi Arabia's moves to boost the oil price for his and Putin's benefit will act like a tax on all drivers - albeit a more democratic one than many taxes, with much inequity too - and add to the difficulties of getting inflation down.

Yet, how many of the 2/3 will still place all the blame for inflation on Biden.

Also, you almost talk about Congress as a body disconnected with the electorate.

"Ya know,,,32% leaves 2/3rds enough for a no confidence vote and lets start over....The people need a solution and when you get numbers like that, maybe its time to go,,,,,,,,regardless of party,,,,,,,Perhaps a new law is in order to regain some control over congress and send a message the have consequences.....Might help the corruption part........
P - Pipe dream but we need to get control of Congress somehow......
"

The people need a solution? The people put Congress there. In the latest Australian election your conservative side took a drubbing which exceeded all expectations. The Australian electorate rejected varied efforts to introduce elements of Trumpism into the process. Bully tactics, lies, misinformation and anti-trans garbage for four.

Your blame is at least to a great degree misplaced. Blame the people at least as much as you blame Congress.

And the new law you refer to. A pipe dream for sure and reeks of authoritarianism.
