Voter support for Brett Kavanaughs confirmation to the U.S. Supreme Court is down in the wake of Christine Fords assault allegations, as more believe her than him.
Currently, 40 percent of voters would confirm Kavanaugh, while 50 percent oppose him, according to a Fox News poll. Last month, views split 45-46 percent (August 19-21).
More voters believe Fords claims than Kavanaughs denials by a 6-point margin, 36 vs. 30 percent. However, about one-third, 34 percent, are unsure who is telling the truth.
Women are more likely to believe Ford by 10 points, and among suburban women that jumps to 17. Men side with her by just 1 point.
White voters divide by education: those with a college degree believe Ford by a 14-point margin, while those without a degree side with Kavanaugh by 17.
Democrats believe Ford by a 59-9 percent margin. Its the reverse among Republicans, 60 percent believe him, 14 percent her.

(23,946 posts)We can not let the Angry Eleven Republicans make it a criminal trial, no way to meet the standard of proof, not even having an investigation, it is always investigation first, trial latter, which is what always happens in a criminal accusation.
But Republicans refuse an investigation...any wonder why? They want a criminal trial in which there is little evidence so they can scream "not guilty!" after two minutes of deliberations.
