US Congress' approval sinks to all-time low of 10 percent

US Congress' approval rating is at an all-time low, a new poll has found just hours before a likely government shutdown.

The CNN/ORC Poll found that only 10 percent of Americans approve of the job Congress is doing, as compared to 87 percent, who disapprove.

According to Politico, the approval rating is the all-time lowest approval number for Congress on a CNN Poll.

The approval rating is down from 20 percent earlier this month.

President Barack Obama's own approval rating has taken a dip in recent weeks, down to 44 percent from 53 percent in May, the report added.
