Congress cares more about what the media says than what their own constituents think, according to a clear majority of voters.

A new national telephone and online survey by Rasmussen Reports finds that 59% of Likely U.S. Voters believe that what the media thinks matters more to the average member of Congress than what their constituents think. Only 29% of voters believe that constituents matter more than the media to the average member of Congress. Twelve percent (12%) are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

  2. We would have a far more effective Congress if it wasn’t broadcasted to the public. Yes, I get the transparency stuff, but these politicians are playing to the cameras.
