Kavanaugh vote was supremely helpful to Joe Manchin

Assuring a majority in the Senate for Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination may have assured a majority in West Virginia for Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin. A new poll, conducted after Manchin’s “Yea” vote on Kavanaugh, shows the incumbent has expanded his lead.

A survey of 650 likely voters by local television station WSAZ has Manchin beating state Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, 52 to 36 percent. The lead of 16 percentage points is the largest so far.
