While positive ratings for Congress remain at an all-time low, more voters than ever see the Republican agenda in Congress as extreme.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 35% of Likely Voters say it would be more accurate to describe the agenda of Republicans in Congress as mainstream, while 52% feel extreme is a more accurate description. Thirteen percent (13%) are not sure.

Extremism in defense of Liberty is no vice. Moderation in pursuit of Justice is no virtue.

The Republicans in the House have done a pretty good job but no one knows. They RNC and Congress itself needs to keep the public informed. The information actually before the public is biased and false or misleading, at best.

Amen, sir. I am satisfied with their results in 2011, but disgusted by the fact that they allowed Obama to retake the narrative. It is a failure of our communication strategy once again that is going to doom us.

It is up to us...the same citizens that arose in 2009 and 2010 to organize and communicate the message. Maybe this is the current charge of the tea party movement...grassroots organizing and setting up a superior messaging strategy. The RNC has proven time and again that they cannot do this.

Forget “extreme”,
I’d like to know what the “GOP Agenda” is


Many of those same people could probably identify all the character’s names on South Park or the Simpsons.
Otherwise, the GOP Agenda is whatever the MSM says it is.

Yes but he must rely on others to do the actual searching, he merely coordinates the search from his prison cell.

...more voters than ever see the Republican agenda in Congress as extreme.

Well, 52% of respondents supposedly said so. But I'd bet that out of those poll respondents who answered "extreme," the majority of them couldn't, without prompting, mention even one specific TRUE item in that agenda that they thought fit the description!

Furthermore, how does that mesh with Rasmussen's results showing the GOP with a slight lead in the generic congressional ballot? Do some favor "extreme" agendas?

And what percentage thought the Democrat agenda in Congress is "extreme"?

The Vox Populi has bought the media lie and we are so screwed!

What ticks me off is that I have to suffer with the braindead masses. I wish they would all move and let us live in peace.

Many idiots think the GOP controls both the House and Senate, which of course is blatantly incorrect.

I have to admit that this is disturbing, but it won’t be the last word in the election (I hope and pray and believe).

If the “GOP agenda” being referred to here is the elitist inside-the-beltway establishment’s relentless push to nominate a milquetoast moderate candidate and agenda, then I too would have to agree that the GOP agenda is too extreme in trying to win over so-called “moderates”!!

Right about the MSM. They went from three alphabet stations into every nook of the Internet.
Disinformation and the lack of total factual information is a powerful tool.

If asked, I’d wager a measurable percentage of the American people would like to be a firetruck.
