Blom & Benko: Advocating Gold Standard Could Change Outcome of 2012 Presidential Contest : Roll Call Opinion

Blom & Benko: Advocating Gold Standard Could Change Outcome of 2012 Presidential Contest : Roll Call Opinion: Scott Rasmussen, in October, polled 1,000 voters on gold and found it popular, especially if characterized as a way to constrain big government and big banks.

In November, American Principles in Action commissioned the Polling Company to drill deeper into the implications for the early contests in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.

The Polling Company found that advocating the gold standard would move votes where they most matter. The gold standard is highly popular with tea party voters, movement conservatives and others disproportionately likely to attend the Iowa caucuses or vote in the New Hampshire and South Carolina primaries.
