APPLETON – Voter confidence in the Democrat-controlled Congress is at an all-time low, according to a Rasmussen study.

The study goes on to say only 10 percent of voters feel Congress is doing an excellent job.

“The reason Congress is doing so poorly in the eyes of voters is because they are out of touch with their constituents,” said State Rep. Roger Roth, who is running for WI 8th District Congressional seat. “As I work in the 8th District, I talk to concerned voters everyday who feel Congress, and Mr. Kagen specifically, votes against their values. He is no conservative. Mr. Kagen agrees with the Democrat leader Nancy Pelosi 98 percent of the time.”

In the report, 63 percent of voters say the country would be better off if the incumbents were voted out of office in November. At least 70 percent say Congress has done nothing to improve their lives through recent legislation.

“It is time for politicians to put their constituents ahead of their careers,” said Roger Roth. “Our families and our country deserve better.”
