Scott Rasmussen's Number of the Day for February 4, 2019
The Number of the Day columns published on Ballotpedia reflect the views of the author.
February 4, 2019: Thirteen percent (13%) of voters believe that governing is the responsibility of government alone. A ScottRasmussen.com national survey found that 87% disagree and believe every relationship and organization—including families, businesses, and civic groups—plays a role in governing society.[1]
Seventy-seven percent (77%) also agree that “for America to succeed, we need an all-hands-on-board approach that unleashes the creativity and resources of individual Americans, families, community groups, churches, entrepreneurs, small businesses, local governments, and more.” Only 3% disagree.[2]
Scott Rasmussen’s latest book, The Sun Is Still Rising: Politics Has Failed But America Will Not, builds on those themes and highlights how pragmatic community problem solving is one of America’s deepest traditions. People love using their freedom to work together in community.
Rasmussen’s book explains why he is so optimistic about our nation’s future despite being deeply pessimistic about America’s political system.
