Feingold of Middleton and Specter of Pennsylvania have supported the president 86 percent of the time, according to the data base, which tracks votes for 2009.
Sen. Herb Kohl, D-Milwaukee, has voted with the president 97 percent of the time.
The data base also includes measures on party unity and how frequently lawmakers show up to vote. Feingold scored a 78 on party unity and 100 on participation. Kohl had a 94 on party unity and 100 on participation.
