73% of GOP Voters Say Congressional Republicans Have Lost Touch With Their Base
President Obama told an audience at a Democratic Party fundraiser Wednesday night that Republicans often “do what they’re told,” but GOP voters don’t think their legislators listen enough to them.
Just 15% of Republicans who plan to vote in 2012 state primaries say the party’s representatives in Congress have done a good job of representing Republican values.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 73% think Republicans in Congress have lost touch with GOP voters from throughout the nation. Twelve percent (12%) are undecided.
These numbers are basically unchanged from a survey in late April.

Maybe the Tea Parties were a waste of time after all.  :censored:

Hopefully, this report will cross Mr. Steele's desk.

Heh, to hear the GOP tell it, 73% merely constitutes the fringe, extreme minority of Republicans.    :mental:

Like I have said before we need a Conservative party. Let the Republican party sink or join the Democrats.
