I am assuming congressional approval covers both houses.
The House has already done their job and approved a budget. The Senate has failed to do their job.
In fact the Democrat controlled Senate under Harry Reid (aka Obama's yes man) hasn't passed a budget in four years.

What is the senate approval ratings during this government shutdown? Does anyone know? I ask because it seems that its either the president's approval rating or congress's approval rating that gets mentioned in the news, but not the senate.
I agree with Redress - polls relating congressional approval ratings include both houses of congress. Your question is for the pollsters who don't ask the question separately. I'm guessing there's good reason - probably, if they polled about the two houses separately, the liberal media would lose their "Republican House" bad story line.
Well that is an interesting theory based on nothing but wishful thinking...
My theory that you're right?
What in the **** does that have to do with either the topic or what I said?
No, that is just good sense. The theory about why there are no polls on each house.
That lack of leadership from Obama and having an Obama yes man running the Senate will cause gridlock in Congress, Congress will not accomplish much and stupid people will blame all of Congress.
It could be worse, Nancy Pelosi could be in charge of the House and who knows how many 10,000 page bills that nobody has read would have been passed in the House and Harry Reid would rubber stamp and send to Obama who lied about waiting 72 hours before signing any bill into law.
Phew!! I'm glad the one time you made sense and I recognized it wasn't going to cause you too much concern.
As for the reason they don't poll each house separately, have you got a better theory? Do you seriously believe that Harry Reid and the Democrat obstructionists in the Senate are popular?
Which again has jack **** to do with the thread topic nor what I wrote.
I duuno why. I ask not going to make up reasons just to fit my narrative though.
Well, let's forget "narratives" OK. Do you think that if the Democrat Senate, led by Harry Reid, was demonstratively more popular than the Republican House, led by John Boehner, that someone wouldn't have polled this already, particularly the abundance of Democrat funded/leaning pollsters?

There are an abundance of republican funded/leaning pollsters as well. And yert we don't hear that the house is more popular than the senate. What does that tell you?
The issue isn't popularity, it's unpopularity and I understand why you feel this way..I would too..

Republican Party Favorability Sinks to Record Low
Self-identified Republicans are more than twice as likely to view their own party unfavorably (27%) as Democrats are to see their own party unfavorably (13%). The GOP's unfavorable rating among Republicans is up eight points from September, compared with a one-point rise in Democratic Party unfavorables among Democrats. These findings may be consistent with the widely circulated narrative that the Republican Party is internally splintered on how best to handle the budgetary negotiations.
Who knows what you're talking about, but one thing is clear - Obama doesn't have even half the intelligence and political acumen of Nixon
