Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation has been top news for weeks, but voters don’t think the media is trying to do him any favors.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 47% of Likely U.S. Voters think when most reporters write or talk about Kavanaugh, they are trying to defeat his confirmation. Just eight percent (8%) think most reporters are trying to help Kavanaugh win the Senate confirmation, while 37% think most reporters are simply interested in reporting the news in an unbiased manner.

56% See Media Witch Hunt of Public Figures Accused of Sexual Wrongdoing
Rasmussen

“Several high profile actors, politicians and journalists have been accused of sexual wrongdoing in the wake of the #MeToo movement. But most voters think these public figures aren’t getting a fair shake by the media.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that just 28% of Likely U.S. Voters say, when a public figure is accused of sexual wrongdoing, it is more likely that the media will regard him as innocent until proven guilty. Fifty-six percent (56%) believe it’s more likely the media will regard the public figure as guilty until proven innocent. Seventeen percent (17%) are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)”
Link for that last one.
45% of those surveyed have no synaptic activity.
The following numbers are good ones. For comparison, look up Obama’s numbers for the same date in 2010.

“The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 49% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Fifty percent (50%) disapprove.
The latest figures include 36% who Strongly Approve of the way Trump is performing and 42% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -6. (see trends).”
Very good number! Comparison mentioned below.
Right Direction or Wrong Track
42% Say U.S. Heading in Right Direction

“Forty-two percent (42%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey for the week ending September 20.
This is down two points from the previous week. This finding has been running in the 40s for most weeks this year after being in the mid- to upper 20s for much of 2016, President Obama’s last full year in office.”
I want to see those two liars sued. Tarred and feathered for making a mockery of this good man.
Typical media hate anything conservative or Republican.
.
I don’t believe Rassmussen!
I hardly ever run into anyone that disapproves of Trump, and I live in the eastern SF Bay Area!
Of course I mostly encounter ‘real’ people that work for a living, and own property.
.
Another data point in support of my tagline!
.
The ‘media’ hate anyone that has a real stake in America.
Well. I do want to see then sued. This can’t be allowed to occur without Adobe sorry of verification.
Starting with Trump MAGA!
while 37% think most reporters are simply interested in reporting the news in an unbiased manner
Oddly, that's the same 37% who have been dead for years, yet never fail to vote D. Thanks familyop.
In full open session, before the judicial committee, Kavanaugh should sign an affidavit that he will resign from the Supreme Court if any future investigation by the FBI into the charges by Christine Ford or Deborah Ramirez result in a trial ending with a guilty verdict.
Immediately (same day) after signing the affidavit the senate should vote on confirming Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
Do the other 44% think the MSM is trying to seat him?
37% see no bias
The same 37% who still say that Bill Clinton did not lie
what world are these people living in?
“while 37% think most reporters are simply interested in reporting the news in an unbiased manner”
We already knew half the people in the country are idiots.
