Subject: Americans Dont Trust Trump on Supreme Court Vacancy; 65% Want Hearings
Date: 5-9-16
A new national Public Policy Polling survey finds Americans dont trust Donald Trump to nominate a new Supreme Court justice, and would much rather have that decision in the hands of either Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton.
Beyond that, there is growing support for filling the seat this year and failure to do so could result in strong backlash for Senate Republicans this fall.
Key findings from the survey include:
-Only 38% of voters nationally trust Donald Trump to nominate a Supreme Court justice, compared to 53% who dont trust him to do that. Only 57% of voters even within his own party trust Trump to make a selection, and more than 80% of Democrats as well as a majority of independents dont trust him with that responsibility.
-Americans, by double digit margins, trust both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton more with the duty of picking a Supreme Court justice than Trump. Obama beats Trump 53/37 on that question, and Clinton does by a similar 52/37 spread as well. Whats particularly noteworthy is that in addition to more than 80% of Democrats, 29% of Republicans would prefer either Obama or Clinton making that decision to their own partys presumptive nominee for President.
-By a 58/37 spread, Americans want the Supreme Court seat to be filled this year. Thats actually up from 56/40 support for filling it this year on a national PPP poll in early March. The reason for the shift is that 39% of Republicans now think the seat should be filled immediately, up from just 26% two months ago.

Where do all of these BS polling numbers come from?
On FR? From Cruz supporters. Seems to be an agenda here to suppress conservative vote and throw the election to the Butcher and Benghazi. How principled and conservative of the Cruz cult followers.
If true, no hope!
Well, the hipster tax thing seems like the kind of policy I could really get behind....
Still working for the stop Trump movement I see.
This poll is PURE BS!!!! I will bet half the people in this country DON’T even KNOW there is an opening on THE court, you really think there are this many people on the Trump train but DON’T trust his judgement !!!!!! This is PURE BS put out by the press, just as they did about the Iran agreement they deliberately spewed Obama’s talking points and then ADMITTED it!!!!!
Still at it aren’t you
check!
What a crock!
The vast majority of polls are merely propaganda tools to influence idiots.
Anyone who is influenced by this is an idiot to believe it.
Yep. 65 percent of the people don’t even know that Scalia died and there’s a vacancy.
Gotta have a leftist!
Gotta Have a Pinko!
Gotta hav’em gotta have ‘em!!
Now NOw NOW NOW NOW!!!!
I haven’t heard a peep about Obama’s vaunted Supreme Court pick since the week after he announced and I haven’t heard or seen anybody posting or speaking about it at work or on the internet. So their couldn’t be a whole lot of public outcry...
“PPP is a Democratic company, no doubt.
We do private polling for Democratic candidates and we were rooting hard for Obama
Enough said , from their website .. !
Seeing Cruz supporters posting Trump smears for the benefit of Hillary makes it hard and harder for Trumpers to ever support Ted Cruz. This sore loser quality reflects quite poorly on Ted Cruz. I think they forget this a two way street here.
When it comes to the courts I want judge who interprets the law in light and with guidance of our Constitution..period. I could give two sh*ts if 90% of the moutbrethers out there, you average idiot gets what he wants on the court..i.e. a judge who likes to uphold laws stealing a redistributing or laws that allow sluts and evil skanks to get abortions just because they want to.
I supsect this is a true poll. Meaning this country is lost.
Oh fiddle dee dee!
and so?
