Superpollster Scott Rasmussen has pulled the pin and rolled one of his patented hand grenades under the chair of the Political Class. Rasmussen’s “October Surprise” is contained in a recent poll showing 44% of likely voters favor returning to the gold standard, 28% opposed.  That intensifies.  If the public knew that it would “dramatically reduce the powers of bankers and the political class to steer the economy” support goes up to 57%.   Opposition drops to 19%.
