Most Want Vote on Supreme Court Pick Before Midterms

A new NBC News/SurveyMonkey poll finds a majority of Americans believe the Republican-led Senate should vote on President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee before the November midterm elections, undercutting the Democratic argument that it should be delayed until after the pivotal fall elections.

“More than six in 10 Americans, or 62 percent, said Trump’s nominee, who will be announced on Monday, should be confirmed or rejected before the elections in which control of the House and Senate are at stake. About three in 10, or 33 percent, said the Senate should wait until after the elections.”
