So Congress gets poor approval, and (I would guess) just about all Senators and Representatives have much higher approval than Bush.

Seems like you are saying they get a free pass because its easier to blame an individual instead of a group. Based upon your assumption then, they would all be doing a bang up job for their own selfish interests, yet not overall for the country. Hmmm... more thought required. Not sure that makes sense yet.
