2007 Vote Ratings - Senate Ratings

Sat. Mar. 8, 2008


In the following list, senators are assigned separate scores for their roll-call votes on key economic, social, and foreign-policy issues during 2007. The senators are rated in each of the three issue categories on both liberal and conservative scales, with the scores on each scale given as percentiles. An economic score of 78 on the liberal scale, for example, means that the senator was more liberal than 78 percent of his or her Senate colleagues on the key votes in that issue area during 2007. An asterisk [*] means that the senator missed more than half of the rated votes in an issue area. Composite scores are an average of the six issue-based scores. Members with the same composite scores are tied in rank.
