Career Politicians Seen as Negative by Majority of Voters

Politicians looking to win in 2014 would do well to label their opponents as career politicians.

According to a Rasmussen Reports poll released on Tuesday, only 7 percent of likely voters think being called a career politician is a plus, while a majority of those surveyed -- 53 percent -- think its a negative. More than a third -- 36 percent -- classify the term somewhere in between.

The poll of 1,000 likely voters was taken from Nov. 23-24 and had a margin of error of +/-3 percent.
