Congress these days is not very popular. In fact, Congress’s likeability is at an all-time low. Never has Congress been so disliked in history. A new hilarious poll by Public Policy Polling shows Americans like some very foul items more than they do the 112th Congress which just concluded. If the new 113th Congress doesn’t get their act together, then Americans just may like gonorrhea more than the 113th. Currently, the poll shows that people still slightly favor Congress over gonorrhea. 

Here is a list of the items that those polled like more than the 112th Congress:

• Root canals (32 for Congress and 56 for the dental procedure)
• NFL replacement refs (29-56)
• Head lice (19-67)
• The rock band Nickelback (32-39) (I didn’t realize that Nickelback had fallen out of favor)
