A majority of respondents, 53 percent, believe sexual harassment allegations against Cain are true despite his denials. Republicans were less likely to believe they are true, with 39 percent thinking they are accurate. Damn! This is not good for Cain. It usually takes polling a week or so to catch up to events.
Saw a Cain joke on twitter today:
"Herman Cain thinks Arab Spring is a brand of soap"
Not a Cain supporter, but keep in mind that number includes Democrats, 100% or so of whom probably believe it. It also doesn't indicate much because you don't know what the actual question is. For example: "Is there some truth to the accusations, despite his denials?" is a fundamentally different question from "Was there sexual harassment, despite his denials?" Of those who believe it, how much does it matter? Of those to whom it matters, would it cause them to change their vote?
This will all shake out over the next few weeks. There isn't much movement either way as yet.
