2009 Vote RatingsPolitics As Usual• Back To 2009 Vote Ratings

In the following list, House members are assigned separate scores for their roll-call votes on key economic, social and foreign-policy issues during 2009. The members 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 member was more liberal than 78 percent of his or her House colleagues on the key votes in that issue area during 2009. A blank in any cell in the table below means that the member missed more than half 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. (C) indicates a conservative score; (L) indicates a liberal score. Click on column labels to sort the data.
