Support for a swift Senate confirmation for Amy Coney Barrett to become the next Supreme Court Justice after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is on the rise, according to a new poll.
Forty-three percent of registered voters believe the Senate should vote on confirming Barrett to the Supreme Court as soon as possible, regardless of what might happen in the 2020 presidential election, while a smaller 37% believe the Senate should only vote on confirming Barrett if President Trump wins his 2020 reelection, according to the results of a Morning Consult and Politico survey released on Wednesday. This marks a shift from a Sept. 26 poll in which the numbers were nearly reversed as 39% supported a quick vote, while 40% wanted to wait to see who wins the presidential contest.
