Analysis Summary
A Gallup poll from April 1-15, 2026 found Congress disapproval at 86%, tying the record high, with approval at just 10%. Republican support for Congress collapsed from 63% in March 2025 to 20% today — the primary driver of the shift. The article frames this as worse than Trump's 33% approval but doesn't source that figure, and it uses loaded language like 'awful' and 'dysfunctional' to editorialize rather than stick to the polling data itself.
