U.S. voters ahead of politicians in embracing change, Rasmussen saysA majority of Americans are frustrated by a U.S. political system that seems to ignore the voices and opinions of U.S. citizens, a prominent pollster said March 16 at Union University.
“People want Republicans to lose, and they want Democrats to lose,” said Scott Rasmussen, founder and president of Rasmussen Reports. “They want them both to lose at the same time, but haven’t figured out a way to make that happen.”
Rasmussen spoke in the Carl Grant Events Center as part of the 12th annual Union Forum luncheon lecture series. One of the nation’s premier sources for public opinion information, Rasmussen has been an independent pollster since 1994 and is a frequent guest on FOX News, CNBC, BBC and other major media outlets.

Lowry, a syndicated columnist and a commentator for Fox News Channel, spoke in the Carl Grant Events Center as part of the 12th annual Union Forum luncheon lecture series.
