New Low: Only 25% Think Their Member of Congress Deserves Reelection
There’s more bad news for congressional incumbents this month: Fewer voters than ever think their local member of Congress deserves reelection.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that eight percent (8%) of Likely U.S. Voters believe Congress is doing a good or excellent job. Sixty-four percent (64%) rate its job performance as poor. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
