A Fox News poll says that more voters believe Christine Blasey Ford than Brett Kavanaugh
According to the article: "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 Ford’s claims than Kavanaugh’s denials by a 6-point margin, 36 vs. 30 percent. However, about one-third, 34 percent, are unsure who is telling the truth.
[...]
"Since August, support for Kavanagh’s confirmation dropped 12 points among independents, 11 points among suburban women, and 10 points among voters under age 45. Support is also down, by smaller margins, among men (-5 points), women (-4), Democrats (-5), and Republicans (-4).
Most Republicans, 81 percent, support Kavanaugh’s confirmation. That’s matched by opposition among Democrats (82 percent).
Overall, the 50 percent opposing Kavanaugh is the highest opposition to a Supreme Court nominee in Fox surveys going back to 2005. "
End exerpts.
This is at odds with Rasmussen, who found more support for Kavanaugh.
Bear in mind, this Fox poll was conducted by a joint team of one Republican and one Democratic pollster.
Here is the kicker:
"A majority, 56 percent, thinks the Senate should delay the confirmation process until hearings can be held on Ford’s claims. That includes 32 percent of Republicans, 50 percent of independents, and 80 percent of Democrats. The Senate Judiciary Committee plans to hear from both Kavanaugh and Ford next week"
End excerpt.
This is, of course, exactly what Dianne Feinstein and the other jackals in the Democratic Party wanted - and it is exasperating, to put it mildly, that they have succeeded in doing this despite the obviously ridiculous nature of the claim, the lack of evidence, and the timing, which made it quite plain this was a political hit and not a legitimate issue. In a sane world nobody would fall for anything this outlandish. But here we are.
With the news media entirely in the tank for the Democrats and with the public still buying the horse manure they are selling we see Kavanaugh's poll numbers declining, and the wobbly GOP will no doubt eventually cave. They always do.They never realize that the public wants first and foremost leadership, not following along behind types. Republicans rarely lead anywhere.
My prediction? Unless there is a major misstep Kavanaugh is toast.

This whole thing is nothing but a political circus. It's an "Are you effing KIDDING me?" kind of thing? Saul Alinsky on steroids. The very fact that DiFi presented that letter at the -- as somebody called it -- eleventh-and-a-half hour -- is enough to show that there's no "there" there. This "Professor" Ford is beclowning herself, shows she has a memory problem even worse than Hillary Clinton's.
Oh! And speaking of the Hildebeeste, what's this about "a woman should always be believed?" Yeah, sure! I always believe MY wife, but then she's not a Democrat.
