New poll: Kavanaugh effect still helping Democrats more
A new poll released Wednesday provided more evidence that the supposed "bump" Republicans got from the battle over confirming Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court really boosted Democratic candidates more.
While more than 60 percent of voters said the spectacle made them more likely to vote for one party over the other, it was Democrats who benefitted more, according to the USA Today/Suffolk University poll.
In the survey, 35 percent said Kavanaugh's confirmation made them more likely to vote for a Democratic congressional candidate and 27 percent said it made them more likely to vote for a Republican congressional candidate. Another 37 percent said it wouldn't affect their vote.
Both women and men broke in favor of being more likely to vote for Democrats based on the nomination fight; but women said it made them more likely to support a Democrat by 12 points, whereas men said they were more likely to vote Democratic by 3 points.
