Scott Rasmussen is one of the most recognized and respected public opinion pollsters in the United States today. As founder and president of Rasmussen Reports, he is a political analyst, television commentator, author, and a regular on the speaking circuit. The Wall Street Journal says "Mr. Rasmussen is today's leading insurgent pollster" and "a key player in the contact sport of politics." The Washington Post calls Rasmussen a "driving force in American politics" and reports that his polls have set off alarm bells in the Oval Office.
