believe it's scary to be a young man
The fallout from the #MeToo movement and the months of sexual assault allegations leveled against men in business, entertainment and politics is showing up in a new poll.
The Rasmussen survey finds 57 percent of likely voters say they believe it now is a “scary” time to be a young man.
The case of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh is one such example. He has sworn under oath that he is not guilty of Christine Blasey Ford’s claim that he sexually assaulted her 36 years ago, when both were in high school.
Yet his nomination has been imperiled because, despite lack of corroboration and shifting claims by his accuser that lack key details, opponents have placed the burden of proof on him.
President Trump, citing the Kavanaugh case, stated, “It’s a very scary time for young men in America when you can be found guilty of something that you may not be guilty of.”
“Most voters agree,” Rasmussen said.
Only 34 percent disagreed.
The survey of 1,000 likely voters, conducted Oct. 3-4, asked: “Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: ‘It’s a very scary time for young men in American when you can be guilty of something that you may not be guilty of.”
