Poll: ‘Wave election’ could be coming

Less than a quarter of Americans say most members of Congress deserve re-election - the lowest number ever found in the 20-year history of Gallup/USAToday polling - and the dismal numbers could mean another “wave election” is in the cards for Washington. 

According to a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll, only 24 percent of the individuals surveyed said most current members deserve re-election. That marks the lowest percentage since Gallup first asked the question in 1991, sparking the possibility that 2012 could be another wave election in Congress - similar 1994 when the GOP seized the House. 

People are slightly more favorable about their own representatives, with 56 percent saying their member does deserve another term in office. USA TODAY noted, however, that those numbers are comparable to the polling before the 1994, 2006 and 2010 elections that switched control of the House or Senate. 

The poll surveyed 1,319 adults Thursday through Sunday, and has a margin of error of +/-4 percentage points.
