53% Think Neither Political Party Represents The American People -- Rasmussen
Voters continue to believe Democrats have more of a plan for the future than Republicans do, but most again say neither party represents the public.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 53% of Likely U.S. Voters think it is fair to say that neither party in Congress is the party of the American people. That’s up six points from 47% last October and matches the previous high found in June 2012 during the last national election cycle. Just 28% disagree, while 19% are not sure.

My Comment: Only 53%? But the best line that I read in this report is the following ....
.... Just six percent (6%) of voters now think Congress is doing a good or excellent job. Seventy-two percent (72%) say it would be better for the country if most incumbents in Congress were defeated this November.
6% .... I have to let that one sink in.

I'm from Boston and I am absolutely amazed it's only 53 percent. But this percentage will unfortunately only increase in the next few years. Only 6% believe Congress is doing a good job? Now that is something I am not surprised with.
6% are probably happy
with gridlock. I can't
say that it upsets me
greatly. Once Congress
starts agreeing, things
will only get worse.
