The Sun is Still Rising: Politics Has Failed But America Will Not

Contact Your Elected Officials

Like many Americans, political analyst Scott W. Rasmussen believes our nationโ€™s political system is broken. However, his research has left him optimistic about Americaโ€™s future.ย The Sun Is Still Risingย clearly demonstrates that Americaโ€™s best days are still ahead and that governing involves more than government and politics.

About The Author

Scott Rasmussen is a Senior Fellow for the Study of Self-Governance at The Kingโ€™s College in New York City. He is also editor at large at Ballotpedia, the Encyclopedia of American Politics.

A familiar face on television news programs, Rasmussen spent two decades as one of the worldโ€™s leading public opinion pollsters. The Wall Street Journal called him โ€œa key player in the contact sport of politics.โ€ The Washington Post said Scott is a โ€œdriving force in American politics.โ€

Every weekday, in partnership with Ballotpedia, Rasmussen releases โ€œScott Rasmussenโ€™s Number of the Day.โ€ The feature highlights newsworthy and interesting topics at the intersection of politics, culture, and technology.

At Kingโ€™s, Rasmussen is guiding the development of an Institute for Community Driven Solutions. That Institute grew out of the message from this book, Politics Has Failed: America Will Not.

Like most Americans, Rasmussen believes our nationโ€™s political system is badly broken. Unlike most, however, he is decidedly optimistic about Americaโ€™s future. His book reminds us that governing involves far more than government. In fact, every organization and relationship has a vital role to play in governing society. Itโ€™s not about politics. Itโ€™s about figuring out the best way we can work together to find solutions.

A serial entrepreneur, Scott is the founder of Rasmussen Reports, co-founder of ESPN, a New York Times bestselling author, public speaker, and a syndicated columnist. Scott did his first radio commercial at the age of 7 and made his national television debut at 20. A career highlight was serving as emcee for hockey legend Gordie Howeโ€™s 50th birthday celebration. Howe was Rasmussenโ€™s childhood idol.

Rasmussen graduated with a degree in history from DePauw University and earned his MBA at Wake Forest University.
