I think it would be difficult for any person to accurately and objectively assign one "rating" to 535 completely different people.

When the re-election rate gets down to single digits, then I will believe that congress truly has a low approval rating.

With a re-election rate over 90% ( on average) it appears that citizens are quite happy with their representatives.
