When you review the latest congressional favorability poll, it is incredible that Democrats hold the House or the Senate. Rassmussen polled 1,000 likely voters, which means a respondent has voted in the last several elections, and asked them about our congressional leaders, and added Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to see how she compared with Speaker Nancy Pelosi and who voters thought congressional Democrats in Congress should emulate.

County-level Republican parties across the state have since voted to formally censure Toomey, joining allies in other states who have publicly attacked or sought the removal of Republican lawmakers who turned against Trump.
“(Toomey) voted against acquitting President Donald J.
