Fenno's Paradox is the belief that people generally disapprove of the United States Congress as a whole, but support the Congressmen from their own Congressional district. It is named after Richard Fenno who discussed this in his 1978 book Home Style: House Members in Their Districts.
Famous quotes containing the word paradox:
“...This
is the paradox of vision:
Sharp perception softens
our existence in the world.”
—Susan Griffin (b. 1943)
