In a newly released YouGov poll about Brett Kavanaughs nomination to the Supreme Court, only 26 percent of respondents agreed that the allegation of sexual assault against Brett Kavanaugh made by California professor Christine Blasely Ford is generally credible.
Conversely, 28 percent of respondents reported thinking that the allegation is not credible while the plurality of those polled either were not sure about the credibility of the allegation (14 percent) or hadnt heard enough information to come to a conclusion (32 percent). YouGov pollsters conducted the survey with one thousand respondents on Monday and Tuesday, so the results represent Americans reactions to the initial coverage of Fords sexual assault allegation this week.
These numbers may come as a surprise to those who have watched the overwhelmingly supportive coverage that Fords allegation has received in most mainstream news sources, including Sundays Washington Post piece that first laid out Fords more detailed claims about Kavanaugh.
