The trial of former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky has just begun, but most Americans think they've already heard enough.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of American Adults shows that 69% believe Sandusky is guilty of at least some of the child sexual abuse charges against him. Just one percent (1%) don’t think he’s guilty of any of the charges, but 29% are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
The survey of 1,000 Adults nationwide was conducted on June 8-9, 2012 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
