Polling and Statistics

Polling and accompanying statistics is a major quantitative tool used in political science research. Gallup provides a continuous and well-defined polling of American populace on a host of issues. Recent political science analysis has suggested that public confidence in government is at an all time low.

Read Confidence in Congress: Lowest Ever for Any U.S. Institution, by Jeffrey Jones and review the polling statistics. In 250 to 300 words, create your own hypothesis as to why public confidence in Congress is at an all time low. Then, state three reasons (variables) that might account for why confidence in Congress is so low. Use at least one source other than the Gallup polls to support your hypothesis and reasons for your thinking.
