Good night from New York. LISA KENNEDY MONTGOMERY, FOX BUSINESS NETWORK HOST: The Senate's top Republican has a warning for Democrats. Quit delaying, obstructing, and resisting the confirmation vote for Judge Brett Kavanaugh. And it comes amid a new poll showing more Americans think that Supreme Court nominee is the target of a politically motivated smear campaign. Now, as you know, the FBI is currently investigating claims that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted several women back in the 1980s. Among them Dr. Christine Blasey Ford who testified against him last week. She says she's a hundred percent sure Kavanaugh drunkenly attacked her in high school. Kavanaugh of course denies everything. And moments ago President Trump defended his nominee at a rally in T-E-N-N-E-S-S-E-E, Tennessee. Watch. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: Democrats are willing to do anything and to hurt anyone to get their way like they're doing with Judge Kavanaugh.

    How the Survey was Conducted Nature of the Sample: NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist Poll of 1,183 National Adults This survey of 1,183 adults was conducted October 1st, 2018 by The Marist Poll sponsored in partnership with NPR and PBS NewsHour. Adults 18 years of age and older residing in the contiguous United States were contacted on landline or mobile numbers and interviewed in English by telephone using live interviewers. Mobile telephone numbers were randomly selected based upon a list of telephone exchanges from throughout the nation from Survey Sampling International. The exchanges were selected to ensure that each region was represented in proportion to its population. Mobile phones are treated as individual devices. After validation of age, personal ownership, and non-business-use of the mobile phone, interviews are typically conducted with the person answering the phone. To increase coverage, this mobile sample was supplemented by respondents reached through random dialing of landline phone numbers from Survey Sampling International. Within each landline household, a single respondent is selected through a random selection process to increase the representativeness of traditionally under-covered survey populations. Assistance was provided by Luce Research and The Logit Group, Inc for data collection. The samples were then combined and balanced to reflect the 2016 American Community Survey 1-year estimates for age, gender, income, race, and region. Results are statistically significant within ±3.8 percentage points. There are 996 registered voters. The results for this subset are statistically significant within ±4.2 percentage points. The error margin was adjusted for sample weights and increases for cross-tabulations.

    Forensic Research & Criminology International Journal Review Article Open Access Christine blasey ford‘s accusations against Brett kavanaugh: a case for discussion Abstract Volume 7 Issue 1 - 2019 Accusations made by Christine Blasey Ford against Brett Kavanaugh are serious and Scott A Johnson worthy of discussion. Forensically, this presents an opportunity to pick some of the Licensed Psychologist, Forensic Consultation, USA case apart to offer a better understanding of why these types of accusations are difficult to prove or disprove. Anyone can make an allegation of misconduct against someone Correspondence: Scott A Johnson, Licensed Psychologist, regardless of the truthfulness of the claim. Now that this case has been in the public Forensic Consultation, USA, Tel +612-269-3628, for some time, and we have heard from both Mrs. Ford and Mr. Kavanaugh, it is fair Email to examine some of the facts of the case. The intent is not to discredit Mrs. Ford or to support Mr. Kavanaugh but to examine the veracity of claims made to date. Mrs. Ford Received: October 25, 2018 | Published: January 04, 2019 presents with several concern areas suggesting that she has been less than credible in identifying the situation of the alleged sexual assault or that Mr. Kavanaugh was in fact her assailant. Mrs. Ford appears to have engaged in therapy to retrieve memories of the incident, which raises serious problems in and of itself. She also presented with memory difficulties during the hearing and the witnesses she identified have failed to corroborate her claims. She appears credible that she was sexually assaulted, though not credible in correctly identifying or placing Mr.

  • The GOP's Disgusting Crusade to Discredit Dr. Christine Blasey Ford Questioning and Criticizing Dr. Blase
    To: Interested Parties From: NARAL Pro-Choice America Date: September 19, 2018 In Their Own Words: The GOP’s Disgusting Crusade to Discredit Dr. Christine Blasey Ford After Dr. Christine Blasey Ford bravely spoke out about allegations of Brett Kavanaugh’s sexual assault, Senate Republicans have launched a full-fledged attack on Dr. Blasey Ford, offering textbook examples of how not to treat survivors of sexual violence. ​ ​ Throughout the nomination process, Senate Republicans have desperately tried to paint Brett Kavanaugh as an “ally to women” to downplay the very real threat he poses to Roe v. Wade. ​ ​ But by attacking Dr. Blasey Ford, they have reached a new low. As Anita Hill said in a recent ​ op-ed, “The weight of the government should not be used to destroy the lives of witnesses who ​ are called to testify.” The statements below range from insulting Dr. Blasey Ford to blaming the victim by empathizing with Kavanaugh, following a playbook we’ve seen used before. They are further proof that the GOP is putting Dr. Blasey Ford on trial and trying to undermine, intimidate, and shame her because they realize Brett Kavanaugh’s long history of lying destroys his credibility. He is simply unfit to serve and his nomination must be withdrawn. Questioning And Criticizing Dr. Blasey Ford Trump said it’s “very hard for me to imagine anything happened” along the lines of Dr. Blasey Ford’s allegation. He said: "Look: If she shows up and makes a credible showing, ​ that'll be very interesting, and we'll have to make a decision, but … very hard for me to imagine anything happened.” [Twitter, 9/19/18] ​ ​ ​ Sen.

On this page and the next, we put polls that ask about intention to vote for or against Trump in context. His favorabil- ity rating has been relatively low since before he was elected in 2016, and in Fox’s trends, definite opposition to Trump’s reelection tracks closely with strong disapproval and strongly unfavorable views of him.

  • Donald Trump Jr. Lampooned Dr. Christine Blasey Ford Over Her Apparent Fear of Flying in a Tweet Thursday, As the California-Bas
    Donald Trump Jr. lampooned Dr. Christine Blasey Ford over her apparent fear of flying in a tweet Thursday, as the California-based college professor testified to Congress that she was assaulted by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh while the two were teenagers in suburban Maryland in 1982. "I'm no psychology professor but it does seem weird to me that someone could have a selective fear of flying," Trump Jr. tweeted. "Can't do it to testify but for vacation, well it's not a problem at all," he continued. Asked about reports that she had anxiety about flying and wanted Senate investigators to interview her at home in California, Ford said she was hoping to avoid a flight to Washington. "I eventually was able to get up the gumption with the help of some friends and get on the plane," she said. Ford was asked about her fear of flying by Rachel Mitchell, a former sex-crimes prosecutor from Arizona, who noted that Ford has flown to Delaware annually to visit her family, and had traveled to vacation spots including Hawaii and the South Pacific by airplane. Mitchell was questioning Ford on behalf of the Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee as part of the ongoing hearings on Kavanaugh's nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court. Psychologists who treat patients with fear of flying say Ford's account of her phobia rings true. "I watched her testify today and talk about her fear of flying, and it sounded exactly like one of my patients," said Dr. Martin Seif, a psychologist in Greenwich, Connecticut, who has treated over 2,000 patients for anxiety disorders involved with flying.
