Just pointing out that the President has a low approval rating isn't taking into account that people are generally fed up with all government. The democrat-led congress has lower approval ratings than the president.
It basically shows that we (as a whole) vote for people that have a D or R (or just voting against a D/R) beside their name, even if we don't agree with what they do/say.
Unfortunately, with the media overload that occurs, and the fact that bad news sells people either tone out good news or are just inundated with the bad. So even though there is more information, people either don't know what to believe or just get frustrated with the whole process. We really need a good 3rd party this election to get the main 2 parties back on track and talking about what they really believe, not just pandering to get votes.
