Fact Check: "French's poll received nearly 900 votes and was viewed almost 19,000 times."
What We Know
The claim states that a poll conducted by French received nearly 900 votes and was viewed almost 19,000 times. However, there is no direct evidence in the provided sources to confirm or refute this specific claim regarding the poll's vote count and viewership.
The sources available include various documents related to congressional records, historical reports, and news articles about elections in France, but none of these directly pertain to the specific poll mentioned in the claim. For instance, the 1985 Coastal Barrier Resources Act draft report discusses environmental policies, while the Congressional Record and other legislative documents do not reference any polls or voting statistics related to French elections.
Analysis
Given the lack of direct evidence in the sources provided, we must critically assess the reliability and relevance of the available information. The sources primarily focus on legislative matters and historical records, which do not provide insights into the specific polling data mentioned in the claim.
For example, the New York Times article discusses the broader context of French elections but does not mention any specific poll results or viewership statistics. Similarly, the Associated Press article covers election outcomes but lacks detailed information about individual polls.
The absence of corroborating evidence from credible sources raises questions about the validity of the claim. Without specific data or references to the poll in question, it is challenging to ascertain its accuracy.
Conclusion
Verdict: Needs Research
The claim that "French's poll received nearly 900 votes and was viewed almost 19,000 times" cannot be verified with the available sources. The lack of direct evidence and the focus of the sources on unrelated topics necessitate further research to confirm or refute the claim. Additional information from relevant polling data or reports would be required to provide a definitive answer.
