So much for bipartisanship. Most Republicans are finally happy with the job their representatives in Congress are doing, while Democrats are even happier with theirs than they have been in the past.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 62% of Likely Republican Voters now believe Republicans in Congress have done a good job representing their party’s values over the past several years. Just 29% think they’ve lost touch with Republican voters from throughout the nation instead. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
This is a dramatic reversal of GOP voter attitudes. In January 2019, 53% of Republicans thought their congressional representatives were out of touch with GOP voters nationwide. Prior to that in regular surveying since 2008, more than 60% of Republican voters felt that way.
Democrats over the years have always been more supportive of their national legislators. In April 2018, for example, 47% of Likely Democratic Voters said Democrats in Congress have done a good job representing their party’s values, while 42% felt they were out of touch with Democratic voters nationwide.

Growing a spine on Shampeachment is having amazing results.
Many of the worst Bush League Republicans quit out of the House.
We have an opportunity to elect Republicans that WILL side with the citizens, the rule of law and the Constitution.
Yeah. McCarthy has been a breath of fresh air. Totally supportive of Trump’s agenda. Will be a great speaker. Pulls no punches in his support. Same with Scalice.
Great Commander and Chief. Will do it every time.
I wonder how much an affirmative answer to the question “do you believe that the democratic party has lost touch with the core values of people that they serve” influenced this poll?
Your comment is so true. While Congressional Republicans are doing better, they still have a long way to go, especially in the Senate where the RHINOs still exist in large numbers. People like Burr and a few others need to leave since they do nothing.
Amazing what putting a Rep President in office with BALLS who doesn’t take squat from Dimocrooks can do for most of Rep representatives. Romney excluded! Ryan, long gone!
The Senate is a waste. Bitch the Turtle got up there and said fat Sessions made his case for reauthorizing FISA to spy on Americans, to protect Americans.
Still waiting for Linda Grahams hearings on, I guess, anybody.
“It doesn’t matter, Congress still sucks.”
Yeah, yeah of course they still suck. But for now they suck a little bit less.
That four leaf clover, pot of gold, potato eating, leprechaun mick.
Couldn’t STAND him by the end.
No borders but a 10 foot fence around his house.
No offense to my Irish friends :)
Feel free to take shots at Italians at will :)
Given Romney’s criticism of Trump’s handling of the coronavirus, I think Trump needs to admit it could be handled better and appoint Mitt the coronavirus czar. He should immediately resign from the Senate and be sent to China to see first hand how they are handling it. Getting Mitt out of the Senate should be good for another bump in the polls for the Republican congressional caucus.
I’m a tad happier. But for the most part they are swamper scum like the demonrats.
Because we finally got rid of many rinos and goofs like Paul ryan and they are supporting Trump instead of fighting him.
Nice list of effective, and Good folks.
Excellent idea. I hear Wuhan has some great reeducation centers.
Cuomo. Stupid leftist pandering, spaghetti bending guinea wop bastage like his father and his brother Fredo. (Ps. I’m of Napolitano/Calabrese lineage ).
