New High: 48% Say Most Members of Congress Are Corrupt In Politics

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 48% of Likely U.S. Voters believe that most members of Congress are corrupt. Just 28% disagree, and another 24% are not sure. Rasmussen Reports updates are also available on Twitter or Facebook. The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on December 27-28, 2011 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC.

Many people don’t think Congress is doing a good job, that government is the problem and even that Congress is corrupt. Based on my personal experience with feedback it also appears people are willing to believe the most outrageous things about members of Congress, like they receive their pay for life and that Congress stopped the Social Security COLA for two years . . . And yet we keep electing the same people over and over so they become so ingrained in the system they are frozen with the fear of losing power.

Isn’t it really time for term limits?  We only need a few more signatures on our petition to get it released to Congress. Please click in the term limit link and sign the petition (U.S. citizens only please).
