Based on the results of the latest round of primary elections, Americans aren’t exactly sending a message to members of Congress who are doing an unsatisfactory job.

Via National Journal:

Americans might be mad as hell at Congress—but they’re going to keep taking it.

Consider these two facts:

1: Congressional approval is at 11 percent, as measured by the latest Allstate/National Journal Heartland Monitor Poll.

2: Exactly zero incumbent candidates—for the Senate or House—have lost a primary race in this midterm cycle. In Tuesday’s congressional primaries, incumbents went 45 for 45, and establishment Republicans won easy victories against their tea-party rivals. Despite how much voters say they hate the current Congress, they still like them better than their primary challengers.
