A majority of Americans oppose efforts by President Trump and the Republican-led Senate to fill a Supreme Court vacancy before the presidential election, with most supporters of Democratic candidate Joe Biden saying the issue has raised the stakes of the election, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll.

The Post-ABC poll, conducted Monday to Thursday, finds 38 percent of Americans say the replacement for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died last week, should be nominated by Trump and confirmed by the current Senate, while 57 percent say it should be left to the winner of the presidential election and a Senate vote next year.

Partisans are deeply divided on the issue, though clear majorities of political independents (61 percent) and women (64 percent) say the next justice should be chosen by the winner of this fall’s election, including about half of each group who feel this way “strongly.” . . .

There's that stubborn 38 percent - the cult.

1. You can fool some of the people all of the time.

I just never would’ve thought that they were that many chumps in America

2. Sadly

3. All of this would not be an issue if Mitch had allowed a vote on Merrick Garland's nomination

Mitch is just too greedy

4. The cult supporters aren't enough for tRump to carry this election and R's know it.

Makes one wonder why they stand silently by while their leader destroys their party.

5. If Biden gets 57% of the popular vote, we would also pick up 8

Senate seat, then add 4 more SC positions. That's our path to correct this mess.

6. Joe will get 60%. I'm predicting the win now.

Channeling the young Joe Namath lol.

11. No chance

20 point blowouts will never happen again, we're far too divided. Biden wins by 4-7 points.

[Tommymac]

12. He won't win by 4% - too close and the cheats will get it. Must win by 6% or more.

And I respectfully disagree - this year is like no other. The Killer Clown will get his base - 35% plus a small % of others. 40% +/-.

Massive turnout unlike any seen before in modern times will net Joe 60% +/-.

I believe. I believe that We will win. Massively.

GOTV!!!!!

13. Well, we can't really debate this because the future hasn't happened yet

But I'm bookmarking this, so expect an "I told you so" comment in November.

One thing I will say though: Biden is ahead in most polls by 7-9 points. A elections get closer, the incumbent almost always picks up more votes. Trump losing another 11 to 13 points would be unheard of. And his base is not 35%, it's 43%. Overconfidence doesn't win elections. "60% +" I'd bet my life Biden won't get.

[Tommymac]

14. Cool. I'll buy you a virtual beer if I'm wrong.

Trump loses no matter what.

And not overconfident - just being optimistic. I'm still working my ass off to GOTV. That massive Blue Wave will not start itself.

[Polybius]

15. Yeah, he has to lose

That I agree with you on. And if he loses by 20%+, I'm buying you virtual Champaign.

[Polybius]

17. I like my beer to be a stout if you can

[Yavin4]

8. Yep. Make DC and PR states gives us 4 insurance senators.

Or, at the very least, force the Republicans to moderate.

[aggiesal]

7. And if they would have asked the same question in 2016 the 38% cult would have ...

said the we should wait until after the election and let the winner pick the next Supreme Court Justice.

38% would also say the don't know the meaning of hypocrisy or irony.

9. Yes and the majority want firearms safety regulations

but the wrong wing has been ruling this nation for far too long.

10. Reich Wing cares NOT ABOUT THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.
