82% Don't Want Congress Reelected

I call this a serious of vote of no confidence by the People in our representatives. I would take it further and apply the right of the People of nullification to most government agencies and legislation, taking the massive government down to a small organization, leaving the power and responsibility in the public, not in our representatives who are more than affordable by big businesses and financial industry.

The anti-incumbent sentiment toward members of Congress has reached a 19-year high, with three out of four voters saying most lawmakers do not deserve to win reelection, according to a new Gallup poll Friday.

Seventy-six percent of respondents said most members of Congress do not deserve to be reelected, while just 20 percent said they deserve to be sent back to office.

The anti-incumbent mood was stronger among independents — 82 percent said members of Congress don’t deserve reelection, compared to 75 percent of Republicans and 68 percent of Democrats who said the same.

The previous high in the anti-incumbent sentiment was in August, when 70 percent said most members of Congress do not deserve another term. Friday’s poll also comes less than a month after Congress received its lowest favorability rating in more than 25 years.

However, voters were much more positive about their own member of Congress than lawmakers on Capitol Hill in general, with 39 percent saying the representative from their own congressional district should not be reelected, while 53 percent said their representative should be.
