A New, Improved Congress?
Writing for The New York Times, Thomas E. Mann, Molly Reynolds, and Peter Hoey say, "Just before Congress adjourned for its August recess, Democrats engaged in a flurry of legislative activity, while Republicans complained about a 'do-nothing' Congress's meager policy accomplishments. Deep partisan differences, narrow majorities and a Republican in the White House have frustrated Democratic ambitions and fueled a toxic atmosphere in both chambers of Congress. The public's low approval ratings reflect broad discontent with the direction of the country but also displeasure with Congress for failing to reverse course on Iraq and for continuing the bitter partisan warfare."
