President Obama and congressional Democrats may be suffering these days in the polls, but Republican voters are still unhappy with the job their legislators are doing in Washington, D.C.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 75% of Republicans voters still believe Republicans in Congress have lost touch with GOP voters throughout the nation over the past several years. Just 21% of GOP voters think their legislators have done a good job representing party values.

Fifty-four percent (54%) of GOP voters say the average Republican congressman is more liberal than they are, while 23% say their views are about the same. Just 20% believe the average GOP representative in Congress is more conservative than the average Republican voter.

Says alot about the republican party.

The average American voter:

"Every last Congressman and Senator is a SON OF A BITCH! (Except MINE)"

[neodad]

How’s that solid B working for you Michael?

[sickoflibs]

Add me to the list, including mine!

[mort56]

I’ll try and keep my House Critter (Dr. Tom Price) but you am willing to trade both of my out of touch Senators (Isakson and Chambliss).

They had better get their heads out before its too late, for them and for us. We’re not playing dodge ball here. Our country and our future is at stake.

[PoloSec]

Only 75%...not yet enough for them to get the message, it’s a start I quess...how do you get through to those who are willingly blind, deaf and dumb

[HiTech RedNeck]

Probably says even more about frustrated voters who see Rats beating out their preferred candidates.

[MrEdd]

Seems like the Whig party got to this point once upon a time.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Wait, this does not say successful GOP voters.

“how do you get through to those who are willingly blind, deaf and dumb”

They are not any of those, they are hard core or soft socialists every one of them. The only thing to do is replace them, because they will always resort to form.

[squarebarb]

the Repubs have to realize that no matter how liberal they get the media and the Democrats will still hate them.

Absolutely hate them.

Then, once that soaks in, most of them will quit and fighters can take their place.

I swear most of the repubs are in the business to get media attention and approval from Democrats -— who are not only in the House and Sentate but in every federal agency, whose top men are in DC and go to all the social events.

[pallis]

Good! At least there is one Party with enough sense to question and put pressure on their representatives. It also means the Party is more or less fixable.

[darkwing104]

The problem is that too many members of the RNC are too busy practicing their Golf Swing at the Country Club. They are not getting the message....Thus, they need to go.

[Luke21]

Mine os just a b-—. Not a son of one. And my senator is Judas McCain.

[stockpirate]

I can only name about 5 or 6 senators that are conservatives, maye not even that many.

DeMint, Bachman please help.

[Blood of Tyrants]

There is no doubt in my mind that if the GOP was still in charge, they would STILL be leading us towards socialism just a little slower than the Rats. Right now they are opposing Obama because it profits them politically.
