65% Would Vote to Scrap Congress

On the heels of a major midterm election, a new Rasmussen national survey finds that 65% of likely voters say if they had the option on election day, they would get rid of every member of Congress and start with a clean slate. Unsurprisingly, among those voting, 84% of mainstream voters would opt to get rid of them and 64% of the political class (read: liberal elitists) would vote to keep them all.

Among the "dump 'em" sect were 82% Republicans and 78% of unaffiliated voters. Democrats are almost evenly divided as 44% want to keep them and 38% prefer to kick them out. 

Despite Democratic loyalty to incumbents, only 12% of all voters think Congress is doing a good job. This begs the question of why the majority of 44% of Democrats think Congress is doing a poor job, but want to keep them in their seats. 

Despite Democratic schizophrenia, 62% feel it would be better for the country if most congressional incumbents were defeated next week. I agree with this contingency, but I have to admit, I want to start with the Democratic incumbents. Maybe after that, we can force the issue of term limits and get rid of these lifetime, do-nothing, entitled congresspeople once and for all.
