Poll: Voters less likely to support Collins if she votes to confirm Kavanaugh
The Hill ^ | August 21, 2018

Posted on 08/21/2018 8:21:13 AM PDT by SMGFan

A Public Policy Polling survey released Tuesday shows a plurality of Maine voters want Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) to reject Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court and many will be less likely to support her for reelection if she votes to confirm him.

The poll found 49 percent of Maine voters think Collins should not vote to confirm Kavanaugh, and an additional 47 percent saying they’d be less likely to vote for her reelection in 2020 if she helped elevate him to the Supreme Court.

That number grows to 53 percent if Kavanaugh hypothetically votes to overturn Roe v. Wade while on the high court.

I just took a poll about THIS poll, and I told the pollster that THIS poll is a fraud.

I would guess that 47% of Maine voters would not vote for her no matter how she votes on Kavanaugh.

Polls like this, Anita Hill types coming out of the woodwork, etc.

All predictable.

So why wait to vote?

But now, a poll of the Indiana Senate race finds that incumbent Democrat Joe Donnelly improves his chances of re-election if he votes against confirming Kavanaugh. The survey was conducted by Trafalgar, the same outfit that polled the corresponding question in West Virginia.

In Indiana, according to the poll, Donnelly leads by seven points in a scenario that assumes he votes against confirming Kavanaugh. In a scenario assuming he votes to confirm, the lead in only one point. ( FiveThirtyEight points out that, oddly, Donnelly’s lead is 12 points before the Kavanaugh nomination is raised with respondents).

Her voting for Trump’s SCOTUS picks is one of the few VALID excuses to keep her around.

Our Donald will just have to pay the state a visit for a rally and we’ll see how many Deplorables show up.

Collins comes from a state where people blow their heads off with fireworks and where strange dudes like Stephen King were bred and brought up... Ask them a question via a telephone survey and you’ll likely get a different answer every time. Show up at their house and ring their doorbell, and you can expect even stranger things to happen.

So trusting a poll from Maine is like trusting Bill Clinton with an intern. You don’t.

Commie pollsters and media trying to influence rinos most likely to vote no.
