Rasmussen Polling 2024. Veteran pollster Scott Rasmussen surveyed a group of Americans he calls the elite 1% earlier this year. Rasmussen was astounded at the stark differences between the opinions of elites and the rest of the population.
“The elite 1%—individuals who make over $150,000 a year, live in densely populated areas, and have postgraduate degrees—are overwhelmingly liberal.
Among the elite 1%, about half say Americans have “too much freedom.” And among politically obsessed 1%ers, about 7 out of 10 say, “There’s too much individual freedom in America.”
Rasmussen says In America, it’s been 50 years since most voters trusted the government to do the right thing most of the time. But among the elite 1%, 70% trust the government.
