A majority of voters say they won't re-elect senators if they confirm Kavanaugh

Source: Axios

“A majority of people wouldn’t vote to re-elect their senators if they vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh, according to a new Change Research poll.

By the numbers: After the hearings, 51% of people said they are less likely re-elect their senators. And people found Dr. Christine Blasey Ford more believable (50%) and credible (48%) than Kavanaugh (44% for both.) 50% of people said they will view the Supreme Court as less credible if the Senate confirms Kavanaugh.”

We are surrounded by utter, and complete morons.

That. Is. Unbelievable ...

Nice try, Axios, but this here is not even REMOTELY 'good news' for our Nation.

This is a pathetic polling result.

So bad that we deserve the hell that going to befall us, srsly. Our country is clearly too stupid to deserve anything resembling a position of 'World Leadership'.

This has become a nation of utter and complete DUMBFCKS.

I'm afraid ... we're DONE.

So yeah, I can believe that number, although if I were to guess I would guess that it's probably closer to 40%.

I'd bet most people who found Ford credible are "pro-choice", and the Kavanaugh supporters are "pro-life".

Even Trump said that Ford was believable, and that Kavanaugh was "incredible". But to him, Kavanaugh represents a contest, which he must win, because he must always win.

Roe vs Wade is the driving issue on this guy.

They ranged from her being an MK-Ultra mind control plant, to being a paid operative for George Soros, to an imposter that is not Dr. Ford at all but a ringer brought in by Deep State CIA agents.

they have a C+ rating from 538. Online only pollster.

"won't vote for" is incorrect, "less likely" is correct.

And this only makes it a lot worse for cruz now. They absolutely hate this guy cruz. He is the most hated person in all of Congress for many good reasons, and has voted taking millions off of their health care plans, given billions of tax cuts to the wealthy. Cruz also is hated for saying and doing nothing when they started caging babies , and separating families to intentionally hurt the children and their parents and families forever. Cruz has done nothing to stop all the corruption, and the undermining of all our institutions, and agencies. He's backing putin and trump over this country. No, I don't think ted will make it now as many more run from trump and him , and this disaster they're a part of in this country right now. People really hate him for good reasons, and no one lies this much that isn't corrupt.
