Trump has a 61% unfavorable rate and a 23% favorable perception. The right rabidly hates Clinton – enough to make up scandals about her. It is the Republicans themselves who loath their nominee Donald Trump. This makes sense as they’ve had a lot of practice hating the president since, what? Reagan? Clinton has an unfavorable rating of 56% and a favorable rating of 39%. To attain the presidency, a politician needn’t be adored – just less loathed than the alternative.
Most Americans want to see President Barack Obama nominate someone to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court created by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, but the public is divided on what ideological tilt they’d prefer to see in a nominee, according to a new CNN/ORC poll published Thursday.
The poll also finds those surveyed are also split on whether Senate Republicans would be justified in using the filibuster or other procedural moves to prevent a vote on a nominee they oppose.
Overall, 58% say they’d like to see the President nominate someone to the Court rather than leave the seat vacant until a new president takes office next year, 41% would prefer a vacancy.
And more — 66% — say that whomever Obama nominates should get a hearing in the Senate. But once that happens, 48% say that if most or all Republicans in the Senate oppose Obama’s nominee, they would be justified in preventing a vote to confirm him or her.
