Americans increasingly want the Senate to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court, according to a new Quinnipiac poll.
“As you may know, President Trump has nominated Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court,” Quinnipiac asked 1,175 voters, “Do you think the U.S. Senate should confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, or not?”
Forty-four percent of respondents said “yes/confirm.” Thirty-nine percent said “no.” Seventeen percent said “don’t know” or “not applicable.”
They survey’s margin of error is plus or minus 3.4 percentage points.
“Men back confirmation 49 – 36 percent. Women are divided as 38 percent support confirmation, with 41 percent opposed,” Quinnipiac noted.
The results of this survey, which was conducted from Aug. 9 through Aug. 13, shows a trend favoring Kavanaugh.
Back on July 25, Quinnipiac poll found that a slightly smaller 40 percent of respondents supported his confirmation to the Supreme court. Forty-one percent said they opposed it, while the remaining 18 percent said they weren’t sure. – READ MORE

Democrats sent the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request this month to demand millions of documents from Kavanaugh’s tenure as a staff secretary for President George W. Bush’s White House. Already, Republicans were prepared to provide millions of documents from his time there.
New York Democrat Schumer said Democrats need to see as many as four million pages before they can decide on whether to approve Kavanaugh to the bench of the high court. And, as usual, Schumer blamed the Senate Republican leader, Mitch McConnell. – READ MORE
