When veteran pollster Scott Rasmussen surveyed a group of Americans he calls the elite 1% earlier this year, he discovered a startling number who say it’s OK to win an election by cheating.
The elite 1%—individuals who make over $150,000 a year, live in densely populated areas, and have postgraduate degrees—are overwhelmingly liberal. They give President Joe Biden an 82% approval rating, compared to his 40% average from the rest of Americans.
Rasmussen asked these liberal voters: “Suppose that your favorite candidate loses a close election. However, people on the campaign know that they can win by cheating without being caught. Would you rather have your candidate win by cheating or lose by playing fair?”
Among all Americans, just 7% said they would want their candidate to win by cheating. But that number rose to 35% among the elite 1% and skyrocketed to 69% among those who are part of the politically obsessed 1%, meaning they talk about politics every day.
“I’ve been polling for a very long time and the last finding is the most terrifying poll result I’ve ever seen,” Rasmussen told The Daily Signal.
Rasmussen spoke to “The Daily Signal Podcast” about his findings and his upcoming plans for a weekly TV show. Listen to the full interview or read an edited transcript below.

It does not surprise me. The better off somebody is, the more likely they compromised their integrity along the way.
The idea of the unwashed moving next door to them scares them. That is why they support policies that ensure people don’t get ahead.
Like starting World War 3, the Left doesn’t oppose it in principle, they only oppose it if their enemy is the one benefiting from it.
ALL DEMOCRATS BELIEVE VOTE FRAUD IS OKAY!!
Doesn’t surprise me, either. The people described here are religious zealots — with their political/cultural agenda as their god and government as their church.
To be in the top one percent in income these days, you need to make more than $750K.
I want us to cheat like they cheat. I want Trump to win 887 million votes to Joe’s 88.7 million votes.
And it will end very badly for them in the end.
some day they may learn about lamp posts ...
If someone told me that we were going to perpetrate a holocaust on the elites, I’d be the first in line to unleash the gas.
A capital idea. And, of course, true.
No Constitutional impediment, for example, need be regarded as an actual impediment.
LOL.
This Guy seconds that emotion.
They have sold their souls.
This is no surprise, given that Demonicrats are lying, abortion-murdering traitors.
And this is why the cheating is never addressed.
Too many are in on it and those who can stop it won’t.
The idea of a system of impartial rule of law is over, what is coming is dictatorship. The question is, is it from the left or the right.
Right now I’m betting on the left because too many right-wingers rather fantasize about being victims than being at the levers of power if it means using force.
I don’t care what kind of an education they have or say they have . They are the dumbest people and don’t care about America at all. Anyone that thinks Bidumb is doing a good job ,is just flat out retarded. They don’t know or care about the real America.
I have no doubt what is being reported was true, but does it still stand? 150K earners tend to live higher lifestyles, and that lifestyle is being pinched also.
Beat me to it. That $150,000 figure is entirely bogus. Definitely not the top 1%.
I am, by their definition, “elite” and I despise Biden with vengeance.
