Fueled by Swing With Independents, Plurality Supports Kavanaugh’s Confirmation to Supreme Court
(Worthy News) – A new Quinnipiac poll shows increased public support for Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court, fueled by an eight-point swing in his favor by independents.
Forty-four percent of respondents believe the U.S. Senate should confirm Kavanaugh, with 39 percent saying they shouldn’t and 17 percent saying they didn’t know or having no response. Independents favor Kavanaugh in the poll by a 44-to-36 percent margin.
Senate Democrats appear unlikely to stop Kavanaugh’s confirmation, given they need to flip a minimum of two Republicans and none have expressed any indication they will vote him down. Kavanaugh has also met with Sens. Joe Manchin (D., W. Va.), Heidi Heitkamp (N.D.), and Joe Donnelly (D, Ind.), the three Democrats who voted to confirm Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court in 2017.
