A new poll shows that Sen. Daniel Inouye has a higher approval rating than God. 

Washington-based Public Policy Polling found that 52 percent of 928 Americans surveyed this month approve of God’s performance. Back in March, Inouye’s approval rating was an impressive 69 percent. 

Others who bested the man upstairs:

• Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.): 69 percent approval rating

• Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.): 61 percent approval rating

• Sen. Jack Reid (D-R.I.): 60 percent
