Seventy-four percent (74%) of Republican voters say their party’s representatives in Congress have lost touch with GOP voters nationwide over the past several years. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 18% of GOP voters believe their elected officials have done a good job representing the base.
Most Republican voters (55%) say that the average Republican in
Congress is more liberal than the average Republican voter. Twenty-four
percent (24%) say the average Republican in Congress holds views about
the same as the average Republican voter while just 17% think the
Congressional Republicans are more conservative than GOP voters.
Republican voters overwhelmingly believe it is more important for the party
to stand for what it believes in rather than trying to work with
President Barack Obama. Eighty-four percent (84%) of Republicans hold
that view while just 14% favor more co-operation with the President.
