Since President Bush's poll numbers have been in the toilet for something like forever at this point, Republicans (and various pundit sycophants) have desperately clung to Congress's extremely low levels of approval. In many polls, Congress's numbers are actually lower than the president's.

But Eric Kleefeld's got a great catch here: According to the latest Gallup poll, more Republicans approve of Congress's performance than Democrats. Actually, by a pretty substantial amount. So while it's not at all good news for elected Democrats, it's pretty clearly even worse news for Republicans, since the real energy behind Congress's unpopularity seems to stem from Democrats who don't believe the Congress is being aggressive enough in standing up to President Bush.
