More Americans Believe Christine Blasey Ford Than Kavanaugh: Poll

Forty-two percent of respondents said Kavanaugh should be confirmed, while 48 percent were against it.

Most Americans do not support the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh, according to a poll released Monday by Quinnipiac University. Forty-two percent of respondents said that they supported Kavanaugh’s confirmation, while 48 percent were against it. But the respondents were starkly divided by race, gender, and party. Eighty-four percent of Republicans supported Kavanaugh’s confirmation, compared to only 8 percent of Democrats. There was a similar divide across racial lines: 51 percent of white respondents sided with the nominee, but only 11 percent of black respondents felt the same. There was also a significant, yet smaller, gender gap: 49 percent of men supported Kavanaugh, but only 37 percent of women agreed.
