Kavanaugh polling: FBI on the hot seat
The Hill ^ | September 30, 2018 | Mark Penn

Posted on 09/30/2018 7:36:32 PM PDT by Trump20162020

If the FBI finds no corroboration of the charges, 60 percent believe that Kavanaugh should then be confirmed, according to a weekend Harvard CAPS/Harris poll of 1,330 registered voters.

In terms of the overall needle, after the testimony was heard, 37 percent say confirm the nomination, 44 percent say reject it, and 18 percent remain undecided, with Democrats going one way and Republicans the other. But once the voters are told that the named witnesses deny any knowledge of the allegation, this shifts to 57 percent who favor confirmation — and that goes up to 60 percent, if the FBI agrees there is no corroboration. Remember, because there is no specific “where” or “when” in Ford’s allegation, Kavanaugh cannot establish an alibi — and that’s why corroboration of other facts is so critical.

When the slut story broke, Judge K wanted to testify the next day and he offered his calendars as evidence.

The slut ford needed a long time and created numerous reasons why she wasn’t ready.
When the FBI thing popped up Thursday her lawyers again said she wouldn’t be ready for a few weeks.

You can tell the truth right away but practicing a lie takes some time.

A 20 point difference - see what a difference having a properly informed populace would mean vs. all of the fake news, lying by omission, etc. we have today?

Clarence was cleared if all Anita Hill and DNC accusations.

None of the RATS paid any price.

The difference this time is Trump will CRUSH those that accused Kav after the FBI clears him.

How do they not know, out of the gate, that the witnesses deny any knowledge?

A "Harvard" poll?

All those polled from the NE, no doubt?

Is it going to involve Kavanaugh hopping in an SR-71 to fill in a missing hour?

"You can tell the truth right away but practicing a lie takes some time."

As I've pointed out on other threads, Ford had to repeatedly check her documents and confer with her lawyers in order to be able to answer most of the questions from Rachel Mitchell. Even questions relating to just two months ago. She was always looking down, bobbing and weaving, and avoiding answering right away. Kavanaugh on the other hand rarely if ever had to refer to any documents, didn't need legal representation during the hearing, and answered every question quickly while looking directly in the questioner's eyes. And of course the Dems were very angry that the Judge challenged them, which he had the right to do. These two people's testimonies were as different as night and day.

Pure garbage polling. Weekend polls are meaningless leftist noise. If they cannot manufacture better numbers using just about every useless Leftist polling tactics the real numbers are much more favorable to Judge K

That was one of the main things that I noticed...he didn’t need to consult any notes or ask anyone how he should answer the questions put to him.

She was stalling for time, conferring with her attorneys, asking for clarification...if this event was “seared into her hippocampus” or whatever she claimed, WHY couldn’t she answer basic questions about it without help? And how do you not remember the details of a polygraph you had less than two months ago?

Or whether you took the polygraph on the day of your grandmother's funeral or the day after. That should have been permanently "seared" in her hippocampus.
