National Survey of 1,000 Likely
Voters
Conducted October 30-31, 2013
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?
