Survey Shows Public Disillusionment with Congress at Record Levels

Pew Research Center for the People and the Press: Public Disillusionment with Congress at Record Levels – Anti-Incumbent Sentiment Echoes 1994, April 20, 2006

  • Summary of Findings: “The American public is angry with Congress, and this is bad news for the Republican Party. The belief that this Congress has accomplished less than its predecessors is markedly higher than at any point in the past nine years, and by a wide margin Republican leaders are blamed for this. Many more voters than in the recent past say the issue of partisan control of Congress will be a factor in their vote in November. And as has been the case since fall, voters are significantly more inclined to vote for Democrats than Republicans – by a 51% to 41% margin.”
