Rasmussen Poll: 65% of Likely Voters Want to Dump Congress, Start Again

It probably comes as no shock to anybody, but Rasmussen Reports makes it official:

Americans think Congress is doing a lousy job and they're out there screaming, We want a do-over!

The latest Rasmussen national telephone survey, released Thursday, finds that 65 percent of likely American voters say if they had a chance on Election Day, they would vote to get rid of the whole kit and kaboodle in Congress -- every member -- and start again.

Some 20 percent would choose to keep Congress as it is (who are those people?). That leaves 15 percent who aren't sure.

Have a look at the poll.

As you can imagine, the folks they call "the Political Class" -- that's the public-political-trough feeders -- well, they disagree big-time. Says Rasmussen, "Sixty-four percent of the Political Class would vote instead to keep them (members of Congress) all in. ... Among all voters, just 3 percent have a favorable opinion of both parties, while 18 percent view both unfavorably. Seventy-nine percent offer mixed reviews."

Any wonder why it's so chilly this cycle for incumbents?
