The Number of the Day columns published on Ballotpedia reflect the views of the author.
June 7, 2024: Fifty percent (50%) of RMG-described politically obsessed elites think that parents have too much control over their children’s education. A Napolitan Institute survey conducted by RMG Research found that just 17% of politically obsessed elites think parents do not have enough control.
Among all voters, just 15% say that parents have too much control, while 59% say they have too little.
Methodology
This survey of 1,500 elite voters was conducted online by Scott Rasmussen on March 6-12. Field work for the survey was conducted by RMG Research, Inc.
Elites were defined as having a postgraduate degree, having a household income of more than $150,000 annually, and living in a zip code with more than 10,000 people per square mile. Approximately 1% of the total U.S. population meets these criteria. The politically obsessed elites are those elites who talk politics on a daily basis.
Note: Scott Rasmussen is the president of RMG Research, Inc. He hosts "The Scott Rasmussen Show" on Merit Street Media Sunday mornings at 10 Eastern.
