DescriptionAfter a historic legislative session that saw the passage of health care and Wall Street reform bills, most Americans think Congress accomplished less than or the same amount as usual.

In a new Gallup Poll, 37 percent said Congress did less than what is accomplished in a typical session, while 35 percent said it did the same amount.

Only 23 percent said Congress accomplished more than usual.

Republicans and Democrats are split on the issue, with most Republicans saying Congress did less and a large share of Democrats saying Capitol Hill accomplished more.

Fifty-three percent of self-identified Republicans said Congress accomplished less, with 29 percent saying the same and 15 percent choosing more.
