Summary
A data-driven indictment of how a tiny class of politically active elites hijacked America’s institutions, shattered national trust, and turned citizens against one another—and what the rest of us can do about it.
America feels divided beyond repair. Families stop talking, friends walk on eggshells, politics has become tribal, angry, and hopeless. But what if the story we’ve been told about our national divide is wrong?

Scott W. Rasmussen
Scott Rasmussen is recognized as a leading public opinion pollster and political analyst. He is the president of RMG Research and founder of the Napolitan Institute.
Innovation has been a hallmark of Scott’s career. In 1978, he cofounded ESPN, utilizing satellite communication technology. In the 1990s, he became the first pollster to offer data directly to the public as the internet emerged. Scott later revolutionized the polling industry with automated polling, earning a description from The Wall Street Journal as a “key player in the contact sport of politics.”
Currently, Scott continues to innovate. He and the Napolitan Institute have partnered with Jigsaw, Google’s tech incubator, to develop new methods for measuring public attitudes and values. The outcomes of this “We The People” initiative will be showcased in events leading up to America’s 250th anniversary.
Scott concentrates on the underlying currents of public opinion and values, rather than immediate reactions to current events. His work consistently indicates that the American people continue to uphold the nation’s founding ideals, even when their leaders may not.
His recent work for the Napolitan Institute has highlighted how a select group, the “Elite One Percent,” has moved away from these ideals of freedom, equality, and self-governance. His historical knowledge allows him to contextualize events, demonstrating how this “elitist revolt” is the underlying cause of current political turmoil.
