Americans are smart enough to see past their bull#@$%.

Quote:The majority of U.S. voters believe that former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey should have their security clearances revoked, according to the Harvard CAPS/Harris poll released exclusively to The Hill.

The survey showed 59 percent of registered voters felt Brennan should have lost his security clearance, while 64 percent said Comey and others at the FBI who were fired or demoted over their actions should lose their clearance.

Overall, 60 percent of registered voters said they believed that former national security officials who become consultants and TV news contributors should give up their national security clearances.

“An overwhelming majority of the public thinks that former officials should lose their security clearance, and believe that former officials like Brennan and Coney should no longer have any clearance,” said Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll co-director Mark Penn.

“There would definitely be support for a wholesale policy revoking their clearances,” he added.

I could see where security clearance is retained by some individuals if they are still consulting with the agencies or the White House specifically. That kind of makes sense.

I do think one you become a public figure, that immediately compromises you to some degree and you no longer have complete impartiality. Then you should lose your clearance.

I think the best poll will announce its results in Nov 2020.

It's a collaborative effort between The Harris Poll and Harvard University...

Quote:The Harvard CAPS / Harris Poll is conducted by The Harris Poll online within the United States every monthly and captures the responses of over 2,000 registered voters. The results reflect a nationally representative sample. Results were weighted for age within gender, region, race/ethnicity, marital status, household size, income, employment, and education where necessary to align them with their actual proportions in the population. Propensity score weighting was also used to adjust for respondents’ propensity to be online.

The Co-Directors of the Harvard CAPS / Harris Poll are:

Mark J. Penn – Visiting Lecturer, Harvard University & Managing Partner, The Stagwell Group

Dritan Nesho – Fellow, Harvard Institute for Quantitative Social Science & CEO of HarrisX

Together with their students and faculty from the Harvard University community.

ETA: You really didn't do any research to figure out who did the poll. It took me less than a minute to track this info down...

So what do you think personally, forget the poll...

If you had to guess, do Americans think they should KEEP their security clearance or do Americans think they should LOSE their security clearance?

I don't follow polls. Only naive voters do. Hmm, you probably wonder why I feel this way, well, Killery was the president on some polls who had her at 90%. Look how that turned out. I only care about numbers at the closing of the voting booths.

Does that one incident automatically make it a scam poll? Arguably, you'll find warts on every poll out there. Some are admittedly better than others. My point was that you really didn't look that hard the first time when you stated you looked for it. The web address should have popped up right away.

Then the majority are worthless too. You always run into situations where questions are worded in obscure ways to generate the desired response as well as over/undersampling groups to aid in the desired outcome. There are no unbiased polls. Normal protocol is to defer to those who are paying you for your work. That's what happens with these polls.

Then Nate Silver shouldn't be trusted. He was dead wrong in 2016.

RE: Poll: Majority Say Brennan, Comey Should Not Have Security Clearances - Machiavelli - 08-28-2018 04:09 PM

Nope,

He was dead nuts on. Just wait for Mueller’s report on the fraudster in chief.

Mark Penn was basically fired from the Clinton Campaign in 2008 and, like Democrats Doug Schoen and Pat Caddell before him, has managed to prolong his career by playing the role of sympathetic, aw-shucks Democrat for conservative media.

Mach, I hope for your sake Mueller comes through with what you want. Because I'm not sure there's enough Bourbon in Cleveland if he doesn't.

Done by that right wing campus Harvard?!? Of course it's biased...

Now, MUH 85%'ers running with MUH NATE, paragons of virtue (signaling).

Is the Cank POTUS, yet?!? lulz. Is Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz still getting paid off?!?

So Russians changed the vote.

Gotcha.

Should be ready to wrap up. It's almost September.

By the way. HRC never had that much of the vote.
