The Number of the Day columns published on Ballotpedia reflect the views of the author.
February 6, 2019: One of the great myths in official Washington is that voters hate Congress but love their own representative in Congress. However, a ScottRasmussen.com survey found that 23% of voters think their own representative is the best person for the job. Thirty-eight percent (38%) believe others in the District are more qualified while 40% are not sure.[1]
Political moderates are a bit less likely than either conservatives or liberals to believe their representative is the best person for the job.
The survey also found that 29% believe their own representative is more liberal than they are while 28% say more conservative. Fifteen percent (15%) think they are represented by someone with similar views while 28% are not sure.
