WASHINGTON, D.C. — Minnesota Reps. Collin Peterson and Jim Oberstar are among the most bipartisan Democrats in the U.S. House, according to a survey of their peers conducted by The Hill.

Meanwhile, Rep. Michele Bachmann ranked among the top five most partisan Republicans.

Here’s the Hill’s explanation of how the survey was conducted: “Over the last couple of months, The Hill asked more than 100 House lawmakers to name the hardest and easiest members to work with. Democrats were asked about Republicans and Republicans were asked about Democrats. Questions about the least bipartisan members were posed on a not-for-attribution basis so that lawmakers could discuss their views frankly.”

Here are the lists:
