Scott Rasmussen is a nationally syndicated opinion columnist for Creators Syndicate. This is a collection of the very best of Scott Rasmussen from 2014
Scott Rasmussen, an independent pollster for over a decade, poses this thesis in his latest book, In Search of Self-Governance: Americans are united in the belief that our political system is broken, that politicians are corrupt, and that neither major political party has the answers. We don't want to be governed from the left, the right, or the center. We want to govern ourselves. The critical accolades quickly follow -- from both sides of the Beltway. Pat Caddell, Political Strategist and pollster for President Jimmy Carter calls it a "brilliant and thoughtful essay." "This book is dead-on in both its theory and timing," exclaims Joe Trippi, Political Strategist and former campaign manager...
When it comes to the economy, American voters can no longer count on the Political Class. We are the ones who truly want progress, and—despite what politicians would lead us to believe—we are the only ones willing to make the difficult but necessary changes that willrestore our country’s fiscal sanity. For years, Americans have elected candidates who promise to reduce spending. Yet spending has steadily increased for more than half a century. For just as long, politicians have blamed voters, claiming a lack of public support for the necessary cuts to reduce the budget deficit. On the contrary, evidence suggests that voters are far more willing than politicians to make the compromises t...

Like many Americans, political analyst Scott W. Rasmussen believes our nation's political system is broken. However, his research has left him optimistic about America's future. The Sun Is Still Rising clearly demonstrates that America's best days are still ahead and that governing involves more than government and politics.
The riotous tea parties and angry town hall meetings of the past few years have thrown American politics into turmoil. Americans should have seen this revolt coming: populist movements have always arisen in times of economic hardship and uncertainty. In Mad As Hell, pollsters Scott Rasmussen and Douglas Schoen use extensive and original research to explore the mind and heart of this populist uprising and explain how it is reshaping American politics—whether politicians and elite journalists like it or not. The Tea Party movement is an authentic grassroots movement of concerned American citizens demanding to be heard by an out-of-touch political establishment. Their concerns are real and th...
Jock Around the Clock takes you back three decades to a time when satellite broadcasting and the concept of all sports all the time were brand-new. Its the story of how ESPN founders Bill and Scott Rasmussen, having been forced out of their TV sports network, turned to radio and gave birth to the all-sports network, Enterprise Radio. The story features names familiar to American sports fans as they gather to launch the network that would flash across the sky for a brief few months, then flame out, leaving behind the blueprint so many others have copied since.

This text explores the question, "How can a democratic society limit government's abuse of power?" The British response - according to Jorgen S. Rasmussen, a leading American scholar on British politics - takes the form of a continuing search for balance between concentration of power and accountability for exercise of that power. This book is part of the New Horizons in Comparative Politics series.
