Roll Call’s Eliza Carney cites a “small but noticeable drop in support for big banks among Democrats on Capitol Hill,” which, she writes, “turns up in an analysis of voting patterns during the 113th Congress soon to be released by Americans for Financial Reform, an advocacy group that promotes Wall Street accountability.”

Carney’s article (available to RollCall subscribers only) points to several recent House votes as evidence of such a shift. AFR Executive Director Lisa Donner is quoted as saying:  “There is more of a debate and more of a public spotlight on which side people are on.” with regard to Wall Street regulation, Senator Elizabeth Warren and other lawmakers have raised the profile of the Dodd-Frank debate, Donner told RollCall, adding:  “It does make members think twice to know that they are going to be asked about those votes, and that there is going to be a public debate about them in a way that in the past there often hasn’t been.”
