NEW YORK (AP) = Although public
judgment of President Carter's work
stands at a historic low, Americans say
Congress is doing an even poorer job, an
Associated Press-NBC News poll shows.
Only about one out of eight Americans
13 percent now give Congress a
good or excellent rating, the lowest
number found in the last three years.
In the poll, taken Sept. 10 and 11,
Carter received a 19 percent approval
mark, which is the lowest rating found
for a president in nearly three decades.
While 13 percent gave Congress' work
overall top marks, 47 percent said its
work has been "only fair." Thirty-six
percent called congressional work poor
,and 4 percent of the 1,600 adults par
ticipating in the nationwide telephone
interviews said they were not sure.

In the April AP-NBC News survey, 20
percent rated Congress good or ex
cellent, 50 percent only fair and 24
percent poor. Six percent in that survey
said they were not sure.
The latest poll rating on Congress
indicates a substantial slippage after
more than a year of stability in the
public's rating of the nation's
legislature. Since May 1978, the public
had consistently given Congress from 20
percent to 23 percent good or excellent
marks.
On energy matters, the public again
rates Congress lower than Carter.
Nearly half 49 percent rated
Congress' energy work Poor, while 41
percent said it has been only fair. Only 8
percent said it was good or excellent'and
2 percent were undecided.

This finding shows a decline in the
figures of the April poll, when 10 percent
said Congress' energy efforts were good
or excellent, 39 percent said only fair
and 44 percent said poor. Seven percent
were not sure.
On energy, although Carter got a low
rating, he was still rated better than
Congress.
Sixteen percent rated the president's
energy initiatives good or excellent, and
32 percent said they had been only fair,
Forty-nine percent said his work was
pbor, and 3 percent said they 'were not
sure.
Whije the presidency and the current
occupant of the Oval Office are inex
tricably linked in the public mind, there
is less of a link betweeri Congress and
one's own representative.

For example, the AP-NBC News poll
taken in June 1978 showed members of
the public gave their own congressmari
or congresswoman a 47 percent good or
excellent rating, while only 20 percent
gave Congress as a whole the same
marks. This tendency to rate one'o
representative far higher than the in
stitution has been confirmed in other
surveys.
As with every sample survey, the
results of the AP-NBC News poll can
vary from the opinions of all those wi
telephones across the country because dP
chance variations in the sample.
For polls with about 1,600 interviews,
the results 'should vary no more than 3
percenEage points either way, simply
because of sample error.

victions. However, police agree on- his
expertise at spotting rigged games and
teaching others to do so.
They also agree his crusade has made
him a target.
Police in four states confirmed that
they became aware last fall of an alleged
"contract" to kill Sorrows. But a
detective in Cleveland, where the plot
was supposed to have hatched, said the
suspected triggerman had made no
move to carry out the threat.
An officer with the Washington, D.C.,
Police Department, who knows Sorrows,
said: "I don't like Gene's percentages
for living."
Sorrows, of Atlanta, Ga., has helped
shut down alleged rigged games in
California, Georgia, Illinois, Ohio and
Oklahoma. He also helped in in
dictments of city councilmen in
Cleveland and Atlanta.
A 15-year , carny veteran who says he
"was one of the best at robbing people,"
Sorrows also hag taught police how to rig
games at seminars across the country.

the' Illinois State Police said authorities
made use of training by Sorrows in
spotting and forcing closure this sum
mer of more than a dozen allegedly fixed
carnival games at county fairs at
Decatur, Peoria and Lincoln. •
"He certainly knows how the games
are rigged," Greenan said. He and
Peoria County state's attorney Michael
Mihm both said Sorrows lacked details
they could consider as evidence in a
prosecution.
But Mihm said: "He's got a level of
expertise in , this area that we simply
don't have."
Sorrows, who said he began his.carny
career at age -15 under an uncle's
guidance, has been branded a zealot out
for personal gain and "a phony" by
carnival operators. •

Bob Negus of the "Magic Midway"
carnival at this summer's Illinois State
Fair said:" "Guys like Sorrows are just
trying to make a name for themselves.
There are crooked carnivals, there's no
question about that. But they're not all
crooked. We aren't crooked."
Negus said his firm's' games are
geared to award prizes to customers as a
percentage about 35 percent of the
money coming in.
"That means if a toy costs $3.50, that
game should be giving away one toy for
every $lO the game takes in," he said.
"We don't count money, we count
merchandise" to figure a booth's take,
he said, .acknowledging that game
operators could cheat patrons and the
firm.
