Voters strongly support FBI investigation of sexual assault charges against Kavanaugh

American voters strongly back a one-week delay in the confirmation vote for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh to allow the FBI time to investigate sexual assault allegations against him, according to a new Hill.TV American Barometer poll released Monday.

The survey of 1,000 registered voters found that 62 percent of respondents said they approved of the delay. Only 38 percent opposed it.

The American Barometer, conducted by the HarrisX polling company, found that Americans of all races and ages support the FBI reopening its background investigation of Kavanaugh.

Fifty-nine percent of Republicans oppose the delay, while 41 percent favor it. Seventy-eight percent of Democratic voters said they support the probe, as did 65 percent of independents.

but apparently it's full speed ahead and who gives a shit what the American people think. You'd think the optics might make them concerned that their actions might spell their demise with elections 5 weeks away. But no, they don't seem to care. Perhaps they must have a couple of aces in the hole?
