The stakes are high for Thursday’s Capitol Hill hearing, pitting Trump Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh against Christine Blasey Ford, who has accused him of sexual assault — an accusation Kavanaugh has denied — when they were both in high school more than three decades ago.
A new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll finds that almost 6-in-10 Americans (58 percent) say they will be following the proceeding closely or very closely and a plurality haven’t made up their minds on who’s telling the truth — about a third (32 percent) believe Ford, about a quarter (26 percent) believe Kavanaugh and 42 percent are unsure who to believe. CONT.
