Summary

Scott Rasmussen, President of RMG Research, discusses the true intent of early polling and how “people in the political world” misread the average American, and the Nixon-Trump paradox, that after Watergate, President Richard Nixon who saw his approval rating tumbled to record lows. By the time he resigned from office with the exact opposite is happening with President Donald Trump. Rasmussen says that he attributes this to technology, that most people don’t “realize how much the world has changed. Back in the late 60s, there were some discussions of the survey research was done asking people how they first heard about Pearl Harbor. And at that time, a lot of people said no, they remember watching it on TV. But the reality is, TV wasn't around when Pearl Harbor happened. People just gotten so used to the new world. That's the way they responded. And we tend to think of what happened that earlier times is just like now with the social media, you know, all the different outlets, that wasn't the case in the Nixon era.”
