Kavanaugh’s support drops 18 points among Republican women, with 49% thinking he should be confirmed and 15% in opposition.

Public support for Judge Brett Kavanaugh to fill the vacant Supreme Court seat has dropped to its lowest point since President Donald Trump nominated him in July, driven in large part by a sector of the president’s base: Republican women.

A new Morning Consult/Politico poll, conducted Sept. 20-23, found support for Kavanaugh’s confirmation is underwater among registered voters for the first time since his nomination, with 37 percent opposing the Senate confirming him and 34 percent supporting it.

The new finding marks a 5-percentage-point drop in net support since a poll conducted last week, after Christine Blasey Ford detailed her allegation that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her while the two were in high school, a charge he has repeatedly denied.

Ford’s allegation about Kavanaugh was followed by another, detailed in The New Yorker Sunday night, in which Deborah Ramirez, one of Kavanaugh’s Yale University classmates, said he exposed himself and caused her to touch him without her consent.

1. So it takes gang rape

to move 15% of Republican women. Understood.

[unc70]

3. Poll was before reports of gang rape

[appalachiablue]

4. Very telling isn't it...

[riversedge]

5. Poll taken Before gang rape story--but still too many women siding with Kav!!

[DownriverDem]

9. It's not kav

repub women are all about ending Roe v Wade.

[Iliyah]

2. Hold on, didn't I read a thread that said that 54% of Republicans wanted

Kavanaugh confirmed even if the allegation (Ford) is true???????

Head spinning . . . . .

10. Republicans think rapists are very fine people

[FakeNoose]

6. Doesn't this look suspicious to you?

9% of Democratic women and 12% of Dem. men - in this poll - wanted him confirmed?

I don't think so! Anything over 1-2% is highly doubtful.

13. The Kim Davis (she was a Democrat!) branch of the party.

The “God hates fags” people were democrats too. So the redneck democrats can be harder to trust, but still - most are decent.

7. Sorry, but any Republican woman who supported Pussy Grabber and Company until NOW

can just FUCK OFF.

8. Really?

12% male Democrats, 9% female Democrats, 38% male Ind, 23% female Ind are THAT GOD DAMNED STUPID?

REALLY?

That is the saddest thing about this "poll".

11. Take it with a grain of salt.

I have to believe that when asked if someone is a Dem or Rep some people would lie and then give the exact opposite answer that would make it look like there are some Dems that are OK with the rapist.

12. Sad but true

I never believe "polls" anymore.
