Rasmussen Reports: 51% say Congress too liberal

From a Rasmussen Reports telephone survey:

"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."

"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."

What better way to kick off the site than with some Rasmussen polling data!

I can certainly understand where a majority of the respondents are coming from, but 22% say congress is too conservative?!  I'd love to hear from some of the people and see how they could have possibly formed that opinion!  I can't even remember the last time something Conservative has come out of congress.

(As an aside, we'll be featuring all the major polling data available from every polling source daily, in one convenient post in the days to come.)
