New Record Low, Part 2 (No, Still Not Temperature)

This time we’re talking about Congressional approval ratings. From Gallup:
Americans’ assessment of Congress has hit a new low, with 13% saying they approve of the way Congress is handling its job. The 83% disapproval rating is also the worst Gallup has measured in more than 30 years of tracking congressional job performance.
There was a spike up in the approval rating when the Democrats took over Congress, but it’s been downhill since then. Guess they squandered their goodwill.

Americans
This is the third comment attempted to be posted to this article with just the word “Americans”. Thought it might be spam, but I’ll go ahead and deal with it.
First, the word “Americans'” is in the quote, so the error (if any) is not mine. Second, it it properly using the possessive form. It is the assessment of Americans, thus the apostrophe. And when the plural ends in ‘s’, the apostrophe comes after it.
That is all.
