Congress Approval Rating Matches Historical Low
Only 18% of Americans approve of the job Congress is
doing, matching the low point in 30+ years of Gallup

Republicans are deeply distrustful of the national news
media -- in sharp contrast to Democrats, who have a great
deal more trust in the media's accuracy. Overall, less than
half of Americans, regardless of partisanship, have a great
deal or a fair amount of trust in the mass media. Over
three-quarters of Republicans, and nearly half of all
Americans, perceive the media as too liberal. Fewer than one
in five say the media are too conservative.

Gallup's monthly measure of the priorities Americans want
the federal government to focus on "right now" shows public
concern for immigration and fuel prices up sharply since
April. However, neither issue has distracted Americans from
the situation in Iraq, which remains by far the top-rated
priority. Other issues in the top five include healthcare
and the economy.

A new Gallup panel survey finds a majority of Americans
predicting that gas prices will reach $4.00 per gallon this
summer in their local area. Roughly two in three Americans
say they have already been affected financially in some
meaningful way by the high gas prices. Poll respondents most
commonly cite oil company greed as the reason why gas prices
are so high.
