Americans have little confidence in Washington.

A new Rasmussen poll finds that 46 percent of voters think it’s fair to say that neither party in Congress is the “party of the people.”

Thirty-four percent (34%) disagree and 20 percent are undecided.

Along party lines, a majority of Republicans (53%) and independents (52%) agree that neither party has the American people’s best interest at heart.

Just 34 percent of Democrats agree.

According to Rasmussen, even the 51 percent of voters who “strongly approve” of the job President Trump is doing don’t view either the GOP or the Democratic Party as the party of the American people.

The results come as tensions in Washington continue to rise over issues such as healthcare and immigration, even among members of the same party.

The survey was conducted on August 1-2 among 1,000 likely U.S. voters and has a margin of error of 3 percentage points.
