Elites Favor Limiting Voting to College Graduates

There's perhaps no statistic more shocking than the 69% of politically obsessed elites who think it would be better if only people with college degrees could vote.

What we did this time is began to ask some of these same groups, the elite 1 % and the politically obsessed, what do they think America looks like? Perhaps the funniest finding of all is we ask the question, "Do most Americans agree with you on most important issues?" Now, if we ask voters, about half say, "Yeah, I think most people agree with me." Among the politically obsessed elites, 82% of that group thinks that most Americans agree with them on most issues.

Rasmussen: It's actually harder to find places where the American people are with the elite.

What did you find when you surveyed the elite 1% on that particular topic? Rasmussen: Everybody, whether you're in the elite or not, has some concern about disinformation and fake news.

Even on something as simple as, "Does the federal government listen too much or not enough to the American people?" Overwhelmingly, voters say the government is not listening to us and the elites are saying it's listening too much.

How do the elite view guns? Rasmussen: Consistently for decades, voters say they want to live in a community where guns are allowed.

If you are in that politically obsessed elite and you believe strongly that we should ban guns, and if you believe that most American people want to live in a community where guns are outlawed, then you take an almost religious fervor to the fight to ban guns because you can convince yourself that you're fighting on behalf of the public.

So there have always been some people and elites who kind of rejected the founding ideals, who rejected the concepts of the Declaration of Independence.

The second part is there has been the rise of what a lot of people view as the global elite, where people begin to see others from other countries as more like them than they do their own countrymen.

Is there a difference of how elites view pronouns vs. the rest of America? Rasmussen: Let's start with the fact that most Americans don't even know what you're talking about when you're expressing your preferred pronouns.

If you're in this elite world-if you're in the elite schools or many agencies of the federal government-it is absolutely normal and an everyday occurrence that you meet somebody and they tell you not only their name and their position, but their preferred pronouns.
