Default Who's less popular than Nickelback?

Congress

Cockroaches, traffic and Nickelback - more popular than Congress

Courtesy Bloomberg

Capitol Hill

Jo-Lynn Brown

Head lice, replacement referees and root canals are just a few of the things that are more popular than our leaders in Washington, D.C., according to the newest poll from Public Policy Polling.

Congress has an approval rating of only 9 percent, the lowest in American history.

Even a band people love to hate, Nickelback, is viewed more favorably than the people making decisions on Capitol Hill.

Here are some other things viewed more favorably than Congress, according to the poll:

• Colonoscopies

• Used car salesmen

• France

• Genghis Khan

• Brussel Sprouts

But wait - there are a few things people view to be less popular than Congress:

• Lindsey Lohan

• Lobbyists

• Ebola

• North Korea

• Meth labs

And of course, the Kardashians. There may be hope yet.

While they're certainly not good, they turned into an Internet meme and the bandwagon exploded. I know many people that absolutely despise them but probably couldn't name a song. It got annoying a while ago.

They got something that works and certainly have no problem making money. I went to a show 2 years ago... we were downtown for a different reason and decided to stop and look at Consol Energy Center since I hadn't seen it yet, and saw a lot of people were going in. I asked one of the dudes selling tickets on the corner what was happening and he said Nickelback was playing, so I bought two tickets on the cheap and enjoyed a good show.
