Reporters agree: Americans are tired of hearing the same story

President Obama's approval ratings on the economy fell to 33 percent on Wednesday. And a new CBS News/NY Times polls found just 12 percent of Americans are satisfied with Congress.

In today's "Washington Unplugged" reporter's roundtable discussion, CBS News analyst John Dickerson discussed lowly ratings. Dickerson asked the question "Could you make the case, the more (Obama) talks the less popular he gets?"

"Maybe the less popular he gets but the more he starts to sound like Charlie Brown's teacher, of the more people start to tune him out," Nia Malika Henderson of the Washington Post said.

Americans are tired of Obama sounding like the same person, with little results. With the low approval rating, Obama could face a tough battle for re-election.

However as Congress experienced a record low disapproval rating, Americans tend to support their own representative in a re-election.

"The point that needs to be made, people don't like Congress," Phil Elliott of the Associated Press said. "They like their individual Congress person."

Lawmakers know their area and have a better understanding about their constituents when discussing the different problems.

"They're out there in their local media markets selling it to voter to voter trying to tell them, hey you might not like how it's being portrayed nationally but let me tell you what this is going to do for my local school, what this could do for your local fire department," Elliot said.

Congress' figures are depressing but Jonathan Martin of Politico said Obama's figures are the ones in the end that truly matter.

"In September 2011 the more important figure, if you ask most pollsters would be the President's job approval rating and the right track wrong track question about the country," Martin said. "There's no question on both of those scores the President is in deep trouble."
