Americans Disapprove of U.N. in Record Numbers

The United Nations has never done a worse job in its 60-year history.

That's what Americans think, according to a Gallup poll that shows a meager 26 percent approval rating for the world body — which U.S. taxpayers gave nearly $3 billion to support last year.

The world body has never polled very high in the 56 years of the Gallup poll, topping out at 58 percent approval in 2002. But the current drop is hardly unique; during the Reagan administration, the poll bottomed out at 28 percent, which stood as a record for over two decades.

Even the U.S. Congress, whose approval rating was barely the legal age of consent back in 2008, has rocketed ahead of the U.N. A FOX News/Opinion Dynamics Poll from March 3-4 shows that 41 percent of Americans have given Congress the thumbs up, even in the middle of an economic meltdown.

Yawn...

Oh the UN ..

They still here ?

Like anyone cares what the UN thinks anymore.

If the US were to pull out, the UN would collapse under their own weight and end up in the ashtray of history where it belongs.

Rebel has a point... NATO is a voluntary coalition, while the UN is merely a means of transferring money from free, wealthy countries to despots and dictators in poor ones while the average people in both get screwed for the privelige.

You remember Heavy Metal, where they turned the UN building in New York to low-rent housing? :lmao:

What utter Bullshit.................the American people are giving them the extra 30% approval for no Republicans in the House voting for this craptastic bill and only three RINO's in the Senate.

They are also approving of the republicans standing up and fighting all this other utter bullshit.

Oh yeah.........the UN sucks and should be kicked out of the country
