发帖数: 61690 | 1 Monmouth University Poll director Patrick Murphy on Wednesday said that the
majority of the public believed then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas
over Anita Hill after their hearings on her sexual harassment allegations
against him in 1991.
"What we saw after the actual hearings with Anita Hill and Clarence Thomas
when these charges came out, the public actually shifted and said they were
more likely to believe Thomas than Hill, and they actually supported his
appointment to the Supreme Court," Murphy told Hill.TV's Joe Concha on "What
America's Thinking."
"It's going to be interesting if we still see the same kind of shift here
after we hear from both Kavanaugh and Hill," he continued.
Fifty-two percent of Americans said they wanted to see a vote in favor of
Thomas in July of 1991, according to a CNN/Gallup poll.
Months after Hill accused Thomas of sexual harassment in 1991, the number of
Americans who said the Senate should have confirmed Thomas rose to 58
percent.
Gallup also found that 48 percent of Americans said they believed Thomas,
while only 29 percent said they believed Hill after her testimony.
Kavanaugh's Senate confirmation process has been upended by three sexual
misconduct allegations dating back to his time in high school and college. |
