Political Affiliation Trends

At the beginning of the month, Rasmussen Reports released statistics showing that the number of adults who consider themselves Republicans has decreased, as has the number of adults who consider themselves Democrats.  “As a result, the number not affiliated with either major party has jumped to another all-time high—32.9%.”

“Naming Politicians not always easy for Alabamians”

The Mobile Press-Register and the University of South Alabama Polling Group surveyed 407 adult residents of the state last week, asking them to name such political figures as the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Alabama’s two U.S. Senators, U.S. Speaker of the House, etc.  Amazingly enough, “more Alabamians could identify [Speaker Nancy Pelosi] than were able to name either of the state’s two senators.”  Yikes!

One more time, folks: Alabama’s U.S. Senators are Jeff Sessions and Richard Shelby.  If you don’t know who represents you in the U.S. House, go to the House web site & enter your zip code + 4.  (If you don’t know your +4, go to the Post Office’s Zip Code Lookup site.]

In order to find out who represents you in the Alabama Legislature, use their zip code lookup.
