Congress may soon become less popular than getting a root canal while listening to Nickelback

It's been known for quite some time that Americans don't like Congress very much, but according to a brand new poll, it appears as if Congress has reached such a low point, the experience of receiving a root canal while listening to Nickelback may now be more popular.

According to a new Rasmussen poll, just 6% of the American public have a positive view of Congress, where 1% feel its doing an excellent job and 5% think its doing a good job.

To place this into a bit of perspective, via other polls, Americans view the following more favorably than Congress:

- Iraq (25%)

- Justin Bieber (20%)

- Rap (19%)

- Hipsters (16%)

- Afghanistan (14%)

- Chris Brown (14%)

- North Korea (11%)

- Iran (10%)

Yeah, nations we've gone to war with, other nations who've threatened us at one time or another, a man who is notorious for beating up women, along with rap, hipsters, and whatever Justin Bieber is, are all more popular than Congress. Like I said, Congress may soon be reaching that point where its less popular than getting a root canal while listening to Nickelback.
