Perhaps this measures just how different life is outside of the political/media bubble. While senators and political observers have quickly settled into fixed positions on the question of allegations against Brett Kavanaugh, nearly half of the American public has yet to determine whether it has any credibility, according to a new YouGov/HuffPost poll. Only 26% of all respondents find Christine Blasey Ford’s accusation of sexual assault in 1982 credible, a number that goes up among registered voters — but so does the number who don’t find it credible:

LOL - I think CNN has it as three of five.
That must really pain HuffPost
What exactly is the difference between “can’t say” and “don’t know”?
Another dumb poll.
But, if only one in four think the accusations are credible, that means that 3 in 4 don’t.
That should be the headline.
I wonder how many surveyed remember Monty Python’s “Blackmail” game show sketch?
A Jury of your Peers. Cough, cough..
Six in ten cannot name one Supreme Court justice.
Note tagline.
Anyone who voted credible has given up their right to draw air.
A lot of the “credible” are just liberals who think pretending to believe it helps their cause. I wonder how many genuinely believe this nonsense.
Sounds terrible
Should Trump pull the nomination now?
Dems would vote for Garland if he was nominated again.
this poll just shows how many have a low IQ and will believe anything negative.
Those who poll as “Haven’t heard enough to say.” Are unwilling to trash the Ford story based on the surrounding political “noise”.
Those who believe Ford based on the current stories in the news are simply bonkers. They really haven’t heard enough to say. This is simply because we are not sure what Ford’s story currently is.
Those of us who do not believe Ford are going by:
1) The suspicious way in which it was introduced extremely late in the hearings. This makes it look like it was simply a way to sabotage the vote.
2) The way the lawyers for Ford are using her testimony to delay the proceedings.
3) The myriad of people, who knew Kavanaugh during high school, who A. deny hearing anything about the incident and B. don’t believe Ford’s narrative based on Kavanaugh’s character
4) The other named actors at the alleged party all deny that even the party took place.
5) Even Ford cannot name a location or date for the party.
6) One (perhaps the only one) person who attempted to corroborate Ford’s story got caught up in the lie that it was “a buzz” around school. Someone pointed out to her that A. the party took place in the summer and B. Ford claims she told nobody. This person erased her corroborating social media entry and replaced it with an entry which states she has no first hand knowledge of the incident.
7) Ford says that she first recounted this story to a medical counselor nearly 30 years after the fact in 2012.
Ultimately, Dennis Praeger was correct when he stated that ~”even if the allegations were true, it should not disqualify Kavanaugh”. The allegations are about the actions of a high school boy when he was a minor.
This is what’s called Anchoring Bias.
Gosh, that means 3 in 4 DON’T!!
YouGov/HuffPost Poll: One In Four Find Kavanaugh Allegation Credible.
Like PT Barnum said...there’s an asshole born every minute.
So the headline should read:
“Three in four find the allegations NOT credible”
This is how you prove media bias BTW. Take a headine like this, invert the mathematical results and check to see if it changes the underlying facts being reported. If not, you have just pinpointed media bias.
25% of any group of human beings are morons, including Ivy League graduates, Supreme Court Justices, and United States Senators. Some groups are much higher on the moron scale, Democrats come to mind.
The Left's gambit here is to play to a Feminist gallery, which hates men to a point where they will give this accusation credibility--even though it defies reason to do so--and continue to harass the Judge, even after he is confirmed. Ultimately, they seek a society so fragmented by hate that we become completely dysfunctional.
This really is a new low for a major Party.
