The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that only 19% of Likely U.S. Voters believe the average member of Congress listens most to the voters he or she represents. Sixty-seven percent (67%) think the average member listens most to party leaders in Congress, and another 14% are not sure. That’s actually an improvement from the 10% who thought Congress members listened most to voters when we last asked this question in 2015.
