Public Policy Polling (PPP) is a national polling company perhaps best known for being hilarious trolls. And they decided to continue that tradition by polling precisely what objectionable things are more popular than congress.
And if you’re looking for objectionable things, there’s only one place to turn: Twitter. Here’s what followed:

Congress is less popular than colonoscopies, used car salesmen, and Nickelback but it’s at least beating out Gonorrhea and N. Korea so far
