Poll: More Believe Ford Than Kavanaugh, A Cultural Shift From 1991
National Propaganda Radio ^ | October 3, 20183:08 PM ET | Domenico Montanaro

Posted on 10/03/2018 2:00:30 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

After a day of wrenching testimony from Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford — who has accused him of sexual assault in high school — more Americans say they believe Ford's account over Kavanaugh's denials, according to an NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll released Wednesday.

In choosing who is telling the truth, 45 percent said Ford is, up from 32 percent ahead of her Sept. 27 testimony. A third (33 percent) said Kavanaugh is the one telling the truth, up slightly from 26 percent before he testified but not as much of a rise as for Ford.

The daylong hearing appears to have been influential in helping people decide who was telling the truth. Before the hearing, 42 percent said they were unsure whom to believe. Now, just 22 percent are unsure.

The results represent a shift from 1991, when more people said they believed then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas over Anita Hill. Hill accused Thomas of sexual harassment in the workplace. A 1991 CBS/New York Times poll, also conducted days after their dramatic, televised Capitol Hill testimonies, found that 58 percent believed Thomas more, as opposed to just 24 percent who said Hill.

The truth isn’t determined by opinion polls.

It’s what they want you to think

Most intelligent women already pegged Chrissy for the lying skank she is

Why is NPR still be paid our money to spew propaganda?

We have Robert “I’m in charge here” Mueller to thank for that

One more reason he belongs in Gitmo with his lil’ buddy Rodney

That sure isn’t what Rasmussen has been polling. He says 60% want Kavanaugh confirmed.

Once again, public opinion surveys are crafted to INFLUENCE and MANIPULATE public opinion, not to MEASURE public opinion.

Oh. A PBS/NPR poll. That’s like asking demons if Satan is okay. Let’s get serious.

Did they poll teacher’s lounges, human resources departments, faculty meeting rooms and coastal beauty shops?
