Performance Evaluations by Special Interest Groups---

These Performance Evaluations were provided by Vote Smart.  I have provided some I found interesting, I urge you to look up your own representatives or those who might interest you.  These ratings can be found at - Project Vote Smart

How to Interpret These Evaluations

These evaluations are in percentage form. They represent the percentage of time that the incumbent voted with that organization's preferred positions on a number of votes that they identified as key in their issue area. Remember, by definition, these ratings by special interest groups are biased. They do not represent a non-partisan stance. In addition, some groups select votes that tend to favor members of one political party over another, rather than selecting votes based solely on issue concerns. However, they can be invaluable in showing where an incumbent has stood on a series of votes over a year's time, especially when ratings by groups on all sides of an issue are compared. Descriptions of Organizations Providing Performance Evaluations - Project Vote Smart are available.

Project Vote Smart collects performance evaluations from ALL special interest groups who provide them. If there is a group you that feel is missing from our database, either they do not compile performance evaluations, they would not allow Project Vote Smart to distribute them, or we are unaware of the fact that the group does ratings. Please let us know if you think we are missing a group's ratings and we will contact the group immediately.

A final note: The clearest way to read these percentages is, "In [year], the XYZ organization gave Senator/Representative X an 80% rating. That means that on votes they identified as key in their issue area during that time period, he/she voted with the group's preferred position 80% of the time." The exception to this is the evaluation done by the National Taxpayers Union, which represents how often a representative or senator voted to decrease, or not increase, spending.

The Congressional National Political Awareness Test (NPAT)

Also supplied by Vote smart--Use the same link to get more information.

The Congressional National Political Awareness Test (NPAT) asks candidates which items they will support if elected. It does not ask them to indicate which items they will oppose. If a candidate does not select a response to any part or all of any question, it does not necessarily indicate that the candidate is opposed to that particular item. Through our extensive research of public polling data over the last two years, we discovered that American voters were concerned with what candidates would support when elected to office, not what they were opposed to. That is why the NPAT is a positive questionnaire, asking only what a candidate supports, not what he/she is opposed to.
