More WSJ/NBC poll: Battleground voters favor Kavanaugh confirmation — by double digits

[protectionist]

Wonder no more at the Kavanaugh Effect. To follow up on the previous post regarding Donald Trump’s rebound in popularity after Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation, NBC digs a little deeper into the numbers in the new poll from its partnership with the Wall Street Journal. It finds voters diffident on Kavanaugh himself but a thin plurality in favor of his confirmation — a change in direction from other polling over the past month:

Overall, Kavanaugh remains underwater on personal favorability, with 34 percent of voters reporting a positive view of him, while 40 percent have a negative one.

Asked a different way, 40 percent of registered voters say they favor Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the high court, while 36 percent oppose it. About one in five (21 percent) say they need to know more about him.

Small wonder one in five voters need to know more about Kavanaugh. The Senate Judiciary Committee hearings barely touched on his life as an adult, let alone his actual record as a jurist. When it comes to the districts where control of the House will be determined, however, the gap widens into double digits:

Republicans overall have seen an increase in enthusiasm about the midterms since the last NBC/WSJ poll in September — which was conducted before Kavanaugh and accuser Christine Blasey Ford testified publicly about the assault allegations. Last month, 61 percent of Republicans indicated that they had the highest level of interest in voting in the midterms; that’s up to 68 percent this month.

Voters in key House districts also favor Kavanaugh’s confirmation. In districts rated as Toss Up or Lean races by the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, voters favor Kavanaugh’s confirmation 43 percent to 33 percent.

It’s not a majority, but that’s a strong plurality. Not only that, but the relatively low number opposing Kavanaugh’s confirmation in these districts seems pretty surprising, given the amount of media hyperventilating over the unsubstantiated allegations that drove the coverage. Either the smear campaign didn’t stick long, or it never worked very well in the very areas of the country where Democrats most needed a game-changer.

Unfortunately for them, it looks like they got what they wanted. The Kavanaughcalypse not only provided a catalyst for Republican enthusiasm, it looks like it landed precisely where Republicans needed it. Such are the Kavanaughn sequences for witch hunts and smear campaigns, or so we hope. The only way to prevent exploitation of moral panics from being the new political norm is to supply strong disincentives for its use. At least for the moment, that appears to be in reach.

I’m not surprised to see battleground Trump voters endorse rape. Really terrible, despicable people that they are.

Democrats talk so insanely, that you never know if they're joking or not. Could it be that they're still pushing the Kavanaugh victims scam ?

Meant to say battleground Trump voters. My b.

I know this, if the GOP defy history and hold their own, the MSM will have a few excuses scheduled. They will blame any of 100 reasons, including the handling of the Surpreme Court.

Of course, if GOP loses seats, they will say "the Mid-Terms were a referendum on Trump"

And when the GOP loses it all in 2020 you will be one of the multitude pretending to have never supported Trump, as you all did after Dubya.

The Dems/Commies seriously misread the Kavanaugh debate and the consequences of their actions.

I just wish we had another option. The GOP is dog shit.

You hateful, nasty, ugly Regressive Leftists essentially represent the Democratic Party right now.

You're part of the reason Trump is in there in the first place, and you're making it more difficult for the Dems to win.

Please. Stop. Find another fucking hobby. Go away.

One can only wonder what would have happened if Mark Judge hadn't drunkenly intervened by trying to create a menage a trois.
Too bad the so-called FBI "investigation" didn't include interrogating the accuser and the accused.
That's called a cover-up.

There was nothing to "intervene" in. Your dopey little scam-smear didn't work, and now it's causing you and your Demmy Dummies to lose votes. Get your head out of your ass.

Hold on, let me demand Trump’s birth certificate, claim my political opponents were involved in murdering JFK, and blame Trump for personally murdering any Americans killed overseas. You found that typenof thing attractive once, maybe it’ll work again.
