A new Pew Research Center survey finds that 81% of voters who say they intend to support Democratic candidates, say Supreme Court appointments are very important to their vote in this year’s elections. That’s greater than the 72% of GOP-supporting voters who classify the court as very important to their vote.
“That represents a reversal from patterns in past elections and suggests the controversy surrounding Kavanaugh has upended what had been seen as a GOP asset. In 2016, of the voters who told exit pollsters that Supreme Court nominations were the most important factor in their vote, 56% voted for Trump, while 41% voted for Hillary Clinton.”
In the generic congressional ballot test, Democrats lead Republicans by 10 points, 52% to 42%.
