    I guess i was wondering whether anyone believed it, as far as, did it have an impact on public opinion?

      I assume a fair number of people believed it.

      Really though, I think that a lot of people don’t technically “believe” things like that, because they don’t even consider it that much. They just hear some public figure they trust for whatever reason make mouth noises that seem to have something to do with the matter at hand, and that’s good enough for them.
