An Overview of Six Nationwide Polls
American Solutions recently conducted six nationwide polls on some of today's major issues: national security, border security and immigration, energy and the environment, taxes and the economy, and religion in public life.
Newt Gingrich reported on American Solutions' polls during a briefing at the National Press Club in Washington, DC on November 6. Click here to view a webcast of his polling briefing.
The goal of these nationwide polls was to have a conversation with America -- to find out what the American people believe and what they feel strongly about. After reviewing the research data, we concluded that there is a core of deeply held ideas that have such overwhelming support that they can be called the "Platform of the American People."
All the issues in the Platform are supported by a majority of Democrats, Republicans, and independents, so we gave it this subtitle: A Red, White, and Blue Revolution. |
