Scott Rasmussen
Biography

Scott Rasmussen has long been recognized as one of the world’s leading public opinion pollsters and top political analysts. He constantly has his finger on the pulse of the nation and his knowledge of history enables him to put the latest issues into a larger context. Scott is the president of RMG Research and founder of the Napolitan Institute. 

Innovation has been a hallmark of Scott's career. In 1978 he changed the world of sports with the founding of ESPN, taking advantage of the then new technology of satellite communications. As the internet came to life in the 90’s, Scott launched his first website and became the first pollster to offer data directly to the public rather than through a network reporter. Scott revolutionized the polling industry with automated polling, being described by the Wall Street Journal as a "key player in the contact sport of politics."

Today, Scott’s focus is to bring the true voice of the American people to the forefront of the political discourse. As part of his work for the Napolitan Institute, Scott recently conducted unprecedented research documenting an Elite 1% of the population whose views are wildly out of touch with the American people. This study included the first ever survey of federal government managers, revealing that those who help run the country are much more aligned with the Elite 1% than with voters, and in some cases are even more extreme in their viewpoints.

Scott is a New York Times bestselling author. He lives with his wife in Texas and they have two grown children.

The Elite 1% and the Battle for America's Soul

In this deep-dive keynote, Scott Rasmussen shares the jaw-dropping disconnect between the nation's elite and the rest of America. While most Americans believe there is too little individual freedom in our nation today, only 16% of the elite agree. Stunningly, half of the elite believes there is too much individual freedom. 

Scott's research shows how deep the political divide has become while providing a hopeful bridge into a brighter future for America's citizens and communities. Scott will demonstrate how today's authentic leaders, not Washington-centric agencies, power-centered-politicians or university academics will determine the future of freedom, free-markets and self-governance.

Election 2024

Scott’s latest polls and analysis guides you through all the confusion of the election year. In addition to providing the lay of the land, he provides audiences with what to watch for as the campaign unfolds and, most importantly, what it means to America’s future. In addition to the latest numbers, Scott draws upon a deep knowledge of American history and three decades of election polling in a fun and informative presentation.

Messaging to Take Your Policy Ideas to Implementation

Too many great policy ideas fail because advocates are speaking a different language from voters. In a world where only 8% of voters talk politics on a daily basis, the language barrier is enormous. Acronyms like CRT and words like “woke” generate a powerful response in the political bubble but are little known among the general public. Scott outlines a transformational five-step messaging program that begins with listening to voters and ends with the outcome you desire.

Issues That Matter to You

Scott is constantly measuring the pulse of the nation on the issues of the day and can tailor a presentation to address the questions and concerns that matter most to your organization. Issue presentations draw upon the latest polling data, underlying policy dynamics, and legislative realities. In addition to insightful analysis, Scott offers messaging guidance to help your organization advance your interests.
