51% Say Congress is Too Liberal, 22% Say It’s Too Conservative
Rasmussen Reports ^ | September 03, 2009

Posted on 09/03/2009 8:05:17 PM PDT by Clintonfatigued

Republicans overwhelmingly believe that Congress is too liberal, a view shared by 59% of those not affiliated with either major party.

A plurality of Democrats have a different view. Thirty-nine percent (39%) of Democrats say Congress is too conservative, 19% too liberal, and 26% about right.

Middle income earners are more likely than others to see Congress as too liberal. Among those who earn between $40,000 and $100,000 a year, 64% hold that view.

Another hopeful sign. If we avoid overconfidence and don’t peak too soon, we will do very well in 2010.

Everyone I talk to everywhere I go, the American people are disgusted and very, very angry. They want the Congress voted out and they want to start over. The tsunami is rolling. The current occupants better start packing now. They’re gone in 2010 and 2012. The anger is real!

The Obama bumper stickers are fading away. Only the die-hard narcissist has them in place.

Interesting about the 22% because Obama’s core support in the polls seems to be around 30%.

Can't argue with the numbers, except that the conservative numbers are too high! Photobucket

39% of Democrats say congress is too conservative. So 39% of Democrats are completely stupid.

Congressional statistics from a different angle:

0% of congress is conservative enough. 100% of congress is too liberal.

We’d do even better if more of our candidates would take this as an opportunity to rise up and lead. We have a lot of good men but Republicans still suffer from being seen as not conservative enough.

In only 9 months the Dems have lost America by their arrogance and elitism. I predict that if they pass any of the leftwing things like healthcare or Cap and trade that number will jump closer to 75%.

The 22% are brain dead hippies from the ‘60s.

Republicans: "Fifty-one percent (51%) say that Congress is too liberal while 22% say it’s too conservative. Thirty-four percent (34%) say the country is generally heading in the right direction." Total = 107 percent!

"Thirty-nine percent (39%) of Democrats say Congress is too conservative, 19% too liberal, and 26% about right." Total = 84 percent!

Paging Scott Rasmussen!

The brain dead hippies from the 60’s are running the country now.
