Questions - Elections - January 15-16, 2015

National Survey of 800 Likely Voters
Conducted January 15-16, 2015
By Rasmussen Reports

1* Are American elections fair to voters?

2* Members of Congress almost always get re-elected. Is this because they do a good job representing their constituents or is it because the election rules are rigged to benefit Members of Congress?

3* Would a group of people selected at random from the phone book do a better job addressing the nation’s problems than the current Congress?

4* The Declaration of Independence says that governments derive their authority from the consent of the governed. Does the federal government today have the consent of the governed?

5* Whom does the average Congressman listen to the most—the voters he or she represents or party leaders in Congress?
