First
of all it is important to point this out:
You can tell it's a volatile political
year when a balding, middle-aged pollster gets a standing ovation from hundreds
of state legislators after delivering the news that only 23% of the people in
this country believe today's federal government has the consent of the
governed.
"Americans don't want to be
governed from the left or the right," Scott Rasmussen tells the American
Legislative Exchange Council, a conference of 1,500 conservative and moderate
legislators. "They want, like the Founding Fathers, to largely govern
themselves with Washington
in a supporting—but not dominant—role. The tea party movement is today's
updated expression of that sentiment."
And you have this:
ALEC National Chairman 2010, moderated
each day’s keynote sessions and introduced conference speakers, as well
presiding over the award ceremonies. Governors Rick Perry from Texas and Joe
Manchin from West Virginia gave keynote addresses along with Randall
Stephenson, President and CEO of AT&T, Nathan Fletcher, State Assemblyman
representing California’s 75th district, Greg Babe, President and CEO of Bayer
Corporation, John Fund, author and columnist with the Wall Street Journal, Scott Rasmussen, Founder and President,
Rasmussen Reports and Lt. Governor Scott Angelle from Louisiana.
So it is pretty easy to surmise – even without other references
that The Rasmussen Report runs more red than blue.
Sooooooooo
Having said that – this is kind of important.

Most GOP voters continue to believe
that congressional Republicans are out of touch with the party base, while
Democrats are happier than ever with how their team is performing in Washington, DC.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national
telephone survey finds that just 30% of Likely Republican Voters believe
Republicans in Congress have done a good job representing their party’s values
over the past several years.
