A majority of Americans would oust all current members of Congress, a new poll has found.

The Fox News Poll found that 67 percent of Americans would throw out all lawmakers in Congress, including their own senators and representative, if given the opportunity, as compared to 26 percent who would not.

The majority said they would kick everybody on Capitol Hill to the curb and replace them with new people. That included two-thirds of Democrats, Republicans and independents.

The result is not surprising, given how voters feel about lawmakers these days: just 12 percent approve of the job Congress is doing, while 78 percent disapprove.
