Kavanaugh Polling: FBI on the Hot Seat
< < Go Back
RUSH: I mentioned here that we have a poll here from Mark Penn, and the headline of the piece (it’s an op-ed that he’s written at TheHill.com) is, “Kavanaugh Polling: FBI on the Hot Seat.” The upshot of this is “Americans believe Christine Blasey Ford. And most also believe Brett Kavanaugh. … If the FBI finds no corroboration of the charges,” and there won’t be any corroboration of the charges, unless somebody does what this whole thing has been from the get-go and makes it up. I put nothing past the Democrats…. the credibility of their testimony does not appear to be the decisive factor. Rather, the question comes down to corroboration as the standard for tipping public opinion on whether Kavanaugh should ascend to the high court. 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. …
