WNU Editor: I think that 10% poll number is too high .... I would put it around 5% (due to statistical error). But seriously now .... what strikes me about this 10% is that in the past the US Congress would be horrified with such a number, and would move heaven and earth to boost it up. But this Congress is showing no fear. No concern that that they are polling so low. None. Zero. Zippo. So the big question is .... why are they not afraid? What do they know that we do not?
