Rasmussen talks GOP debate, Iowa straw poll this Sunday
On radio powerhouses WMAL/Washington DC and WLS/Chicago
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Chicago, IL/ Washington DC– August 11, 2011 – The Rasmussen Report, the hour-long radio talk show hosted by public opinion pollster and analyst Scott Rasmussen, is set to air again this Sunday – and every Sunday this month – on the top news talk radio stations in Chicago and Washington DC. WMAL/630AM in Washington and WLS/890AM in Chicago will simulcast the show at 3pm ET/2pm CT for the next four weeks.
During this week’s show, Rasmussen will discuss the just-concluded GOP debate, the Iowa straw poll, the sharp downturn in consumer and investor economic confidence, and invite listener call-ins. As usual, the program will offer insights on the wide gap between the opinions of mainstream Americans and their political leaders.
“Scott attracts a very engaged and articulate audience,” according to Drew Hayes, Operations Director for WLS-AM and WMAL-AM. “His style allows for opposing views; and his command of opinion data helps provoke a really dynamic and thoughtful hour of discussion on the critical issues of the day. Our listeners are glad to have him back.”
“Our website has become an interactive storehouse of opinion data and observation,” asserted Scott Rasmussen. “With the radio show, we are getting an opportunity to engage audiences in conversations about what the data is telling us and how it can be applied.”
Previous broadcasts of The Rasmussen Report can downloaded from the stations: WMAL630AM or WLS/890AM.
