Americans broadly favor Senate hearings on a U.S. Supreme Court nomination by President Obama, with nearly half of Republicans – as well as large majorities of Democrats and independents alike – pushing back against the GOP leadership on whether to consider a nominee.

Sixty-three percent overall in a new ABC News-Washington Post poll favor hearings and a vote on whether to accept Obama’s nomination of a replacement for Antonin Scalia, the high court justice who died Feb. 13. Half as many, 32 percent, say hearings should be set aside and the nomination left for Obama’s successor, the position taken by Senate Republican leaders.

Just more of the 'Agenda Driven Poll News (?)' by ABC . How about the Obama quote opposing lame duck Presidential SCOTUS hearings from about 9 years ago ?
How about Dingy Harry quote opposing lame duck Presidential SCOTUS hearings from about 9 years ago ?
How about Schumers, quote opposing lame duck Presidential SCOTUS hearings from about 9 years ago ?
How about Pelousey quote opposing lame duck Presidential SCOTUS hearings from about 9 years ago ?
My , when the tables are turned , how indignant, infantile and insulted they get when they don't get their way !
I guess they are relying on the fact that the American citizenry have short memories.

BS. Not one single Republican or conservative that I know wants a hearing, because that carries the danger of a possible vote and approval via RINO.

Let Obama’s nominee rot on the vine where they belong. He’s picked two winners already. The third is by far the charm.

That’s because Americans have not been taught history. Have not been taught the US Constitution...and don’t know what “advise and consent” means...screw them.
