AUSTIN -- The Legislature's approval ratings are at an all-time low, and Gov. Rick Perry's ratings also dropped, a new survey indicates.

The findings of the Scripps Howard Texas Poll released Tuesday indicate that the public may be punishing political leaders for the standoff over congressional redistricting.

Results of a separate Texas Poll released Monday found that Texans by a narrow margin (46 percent to 40 percent) oppose congressional redistricting, but they also strongly disagree (62 percent to 29 percent) with Democratic senators' leaving the state to dodge a redistricting vote.

A second special session on redistricting ended Tuesday with no resolution. Perry has vowed to call another session to redraw congressional lines to reflect the state's Republican majority.

Perry's approval rating dropped to 44 percent, which ties his lowest rating since he became governor in December 2001. His previous low marks were shortly after the 2002 gubernatorial election.
