Fifty-one percent (51%) of voters nationwide believe that Congress is too liberal while 22% hold the opposite view and say it is too conservative. A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 14% say the ideological balance of Congress is about right and 12% are not sure.
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.
The 22 percent who think this Congress is “too conservative” worry me — a lot.
