Rasmussen Reports Announces a Change in Management

Source: Rasmussen Reports

Asbury Park, NJ, August 22, 2013 -- The Rasmussen Reports, LLC Board of Directors today confirmed that founder Scott Rasmussen left the company last month. In part, the move reflects disagreements over company business strategies.

Mike Boniello, the company's chief operating officer, will assume a broader leadership role until a replacement for Mr. Rasmussen is named.

The Company emphasized that Mr. Rasmussen's legacy remains intact. His polling methodologies and protocols, widely acknowledged as among the most accurate and reliable in the industry, continue to guide and inform the company’s public opinion survey techniques. In addition, the editorial culture of excellence that he built is still very much in place.

Noson Lawen Partners, the Company’s majority investor, sees tremendous prospects for Rasmussen Reports in an evolving media landscape hungry for original, branded content, and it is committed to supporting the company with the capital, leadership and strategic partnerships necessary to improve and expand the business beyond the fields of politics and public affairs.

The Company will continue to build the company’s polling technologies to address the dynamics of a mobile marketplace. In addition, it will focus on helping further expand RR products via digital business initiatives.

Perhaps one of the stupidest things I've ever read. Rasmussen "accurate and reliable"? In which alternate universe? Certainly not one inhabited by carbon-based life forms.

They are so biased in their polling even faux news comes out with better polling!
