Scott Rasmussen, political analyst, New York Times best-selling author and public opinion pollster, speaks to attendees of the seventh annual Bryan Opportunity Dinner at the Chattanooga Convention Center on Thursday night. The dinner is a fundraiser for student scholarships to the Dayton, Tenn., college. Rasmussen founded “Rasmussen Reports” in 2003, an American Polling and Media company.If we want to solve our country’s problems, we should look to each other, not to the nation’s capital.
That was the message that Scott Rasmussen, one of the country’s most astute students of politics, delivered here this week.
Rasmussen said it’s the American people who offer willing hands who are our best hope for fixing problems like partisan gridlock in the nation’s capital.
“The people doing that are so busy rolling up their sleeves they don’t realize that they are the answer America is looking for,” Rasmussen told a crowd of Bryan College benefactors this week.
He was the keynote speaker at Bryan’s Opportunity Program Dinner, an event that raises scholarship money for low-income Tennessee students.
