Only 12 percent of Americans now have confidence in Congress, the lowest percentage in the 35 years that the Gallup Poll has tracked the number. Americans now view Congress less favorably any of the 14 other American institutions tracked by Gallup, including big business, newspapers and health maintenance organizations. Even as President Bush’s approval rating languishes at a record low, more than twice as many Americans have confidence in the presidency — 26 percent — than have confidence in Congress. news.yahoo.com/s/politico/20080620/pl_politico/11232Favorability: Congress 12%, Bush 26%

This is precisely why the democrats should not be popping any corks or measuring drapes.
The primary reason for the low ratings besides the petty partisanship and ignoring the will of the people, is that the Pelosi and Reid led congress has completely failed to deliver on the promises that swept in the new majority - ending the war, renegotiating and/or scrapping bad trade deals, returning some fiscal responsibility and so forth.

Pelosi's worst failure has been on impeachment. GB Indeed - Pelosi's "profile in cowardice" While past impeachments were largely politically motivated over relatively minor infractions, Bush has clear criminal and constitutional problems

at the very least, just bring back a special investigator before more evidence gets destroyed
