I saw that. I saw you grimace when you read Herman Cains name in yet another headline. (Well, at least I imagined it.) Relax. This is about a narrow subject: conflicting poll results from major polling groups on who does or doesnt believe the allegations against him. All my numbers nerds say, Yeah!
I for one thought that Cain would weather the sexual harassment accusations if no more women came forward and no new details emerged. But earlier this week, both happened. Still, Cain stuck to the defensive plan that echoed his economic plan: deny, deny, deny.
So the crucial question becomes, who would believe whom? Polling produced some relatively predictable results: Democrats were more likely to believe the accusations than Republicans, and women took them more seriously than men.

Another Charles M. Blow job from the Times?
Polls on this subject, in my opinion, are a waste of time. Look....this administration is scared to death of Cain and will do anything to knock him out of the race. This is just the beginning and I think Herman Cain will come out of this for the better once people realize what is going on.
Before I read it let me guess...
People who already supported Cain believe him. People who were against him don’t believe him. People who were undecided are undecided.
Am I close?
I don’t care about the polls. I’m still leaning toward Cain. These accusations haven’t changed that. If these women (who so far seem to be professional victims or women seeking a few mintues of fame) provide real evidence, then I might reconsider.
I find it interesting that Republican leaning women are better at detecting BS than their male counterparts.

That was my first thought too LOL!!!
All of these polls were taken before Bialek and Kraushaar came out.
I want to see the polls AFTER this media circus. A lot of people I know who were on the fence, are starting to realize these two are just not very credible
Cain is not my 1st choice, but I believe him.
And this is why women should never have been give the vote. Used to be one vote, one family. Now its everyone for themselves and it... vacumes
RE: And this is why women should never have been give the vote
Is the above statement grounds for sexual harassment?
:)
From the polls, it seems REPUBLICAN women were more likely to believe Cain that REPUBLICAN men.
That in itself is a fascinating result, and the exact opposite of the "women are going to turn on Cain" meme we've been hearing.
NYT? Poll? They think we still believe in polls....
My sense is that a lot of women, regardless of political affiliation, DO NOT like Buy A Lick. They have seen women like her before and they abhor her. Gloria the Red may have made a huge miscalculation with this one.
it’s been brought to my attention that debt in America began to accumulate when women started votin’. meebe it was just a coincidence?
Ah, but Satan knows the more accusers he can drum up the more people will begin to doubt Herman Cain. Satan is Evil, but Satan is clever! He has moare people wworking for him than ever before!
If the media fooled the people into electing Obama last time, the media knows it can fool the people again! So what does that make the people? FOOLS WHO WILL DESERVE WHAT WE GET!
Unless we do not go back to sleep!
Herman Cain is the man with the plan who can repair our country’s Constitutional Republic. Do not desert him! He is giving everything he has for us!

He is worth the investment!
YEP, I just doubled what I was going to contribute to a local Cain effort.....take that MSM/RINO’s/etc...
I believe him - I am WOMAN! lol
agree with all comments regarding the polls, but the one thing this tells us is that this Half-Vast Left Wing Conspiracy to undermine Heerman Cain is not working.
