Rating the Candidates

Article Abstract:

There are many groups which examine the voting records of members of Congress and publish lists which rate the Congressmen. The four most nationally prominent scales rate the Congressional members as to their liberal, conservative, business or labor leanings. By examining issues of concern and checking the votes, each group rates the Congressmen by whether they voted for or against that bill. There is little doubt that these ratings do affect the election outcome. Many winners and lossers in the 1980 election, where there was a major shifting from liberalism to conservatism, attribute their outcome to how they were rated by the four major rating organizations. The 1982 election may also be determined, in part, by a rating given a particular Congressman by a particular rating group.
