Because Bush is a person, and Congress is a group. Bush's decisions are on him, but if Congress does something bad, attacking Congress as a whole can be cathartic but is otherwise meaningless. You have to track down whoever pushed the bad thing, or prevented improvement, and blame them. Especially in the Senate, it's easy for small numbers of people to drastically affect the product of the group, and then fade into the woodwork when the time for blame comes around. So Congress gets poor approval, and (I would guess) just about all Senators and Representatives have much higher approval than Bush.

Heh. It's funny to see this complaint about someone other than UG in an argument involving UG, no less.
