YANKTON, S.D.(WNAX)- A recent You Gov America poll showed about twenty percent of those surveyed approved of the job that Congress was doing and that was up from the sixteen percent approving a year ago.

South Dakota Congressman Dusty Johnson says it has been a difficult time.

Johnson says he will continue to pursue his agenda.

Johnson says Congress has a duty to investigate wrong doing while passing policy.

Johnson, running for re-election, faces libertarian Collin Duprel next month.
