Donald Trump is not a popular president. Poll after poll shows that. And no matter what he does, Trump’s numbers barely budge versus Joe Biden who continues to lead nationally as well as in several key swing states. Latest example: Amy Coney Barrett.
A New York Times/Sienna poll has found Biden leads Trump by 8 points among likely voters across the country. But what’s interesting is that on the issue of a hasty Supreme Court pick, 56 percent are opposed. The Times writes:
“The warning signs for Republicans are also stark on the issue of abortion, on which Judge Barrett, a fiercely conservative jurist, could offer a pivotal vote should she be confirmed: 60 percent of those surveyed believe abortion should be legal all or some of the time.
“The poll suggests that Mr. Trump would reap little political benefit from a clash over abortion rights: 56 percent said they would be less likely to vote for Mr. Trump if his justice would help overturn Roe v. Wade, while just 24 percent said they would be more inclined to vote for him.”
Here’s a poll from ABC News:
