    Poll Watch: 57 Per Cent Say Replace the Entire Congress

    Might it be time for the Congress to pass a Constitutional amendment limiting the terms of Senators and House Members?

    If they could vote to keep or replace the entire Congress, just 25% of voters nationwide would keep the current batch of legislators.

    A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 57% would vote to replace the entire Congress and start all over again. Eighteen percent (18%) are not sure how they would vote.

    Overall, these numbers are little changed since last October. When Congress was passing the unpopular $700-billion bailout plan in the heat of a presidential campaign and a seeming financial industry meltdown, 59% wanted to throw them all out. At that time, just 17% wanted to keep them.

    Well, you know the current Congressional crowd won’t limit themselves – albeit very popular. So, Americans will simply have to vote them out of office an election at a time.
