As Republicans and Democrats continue to spar over Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination, more voters these days feel it’s impossible for President Trump to locate a Supreme Court nominee both sides of the political aisle will get behind.
Despite the release of additional private text messages this week discussing an anti-Trump effort among senior federal law enforcement officials, most voters don’t expect anyone to be punished.
An incumbent senator who votes to confirm Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court is likely to gain Republican and independent voters in November but lose Democrat support.
Confidence that Judge Brett Kavanaugh will be the next U.S. Supreme Court justice has jumped following last week’s tempestuous Senate confirmation hearings.
Voters agree with President Trump that the country needs to “drain the swamp” of the political establishment, but they’re not optimistic he’ll get the job done because of resistance from most politicians.
Democrats insist the fight against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh is based on the issues, but Republicans and independent voters think it’s chiefly about politics.
Most voters think President Donald Trump’s newest nomination for the U.S. Supreme Court, Brett Kavanaugh, will be confirmed. But they’re not as confident as they have been with previous selections.
Voters think the upcoming midterm elections are more about President Trump than individual candidates and issues, but they don’t think a Democratic win necessarily means Trump should change course.
The ongoing feud between President Donald Trump and U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions continues to raise questions about whether the president is queuing up to remove Sessions from his position. While few give the attorney general positive marks, Democrats are even more impassioned than Republicans that Trump shouldn’t can him.
Voters see President Trump's impeachment as even less likely and think Democrats need to focus on policy issues instead.
Most voters, including Republicans, don’t want to see President Donald Trump use his constitutional power to pardon Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen.
Voters still tend to think the highly publicized cases of Trump associates Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen will not cause criminal problems for the president, but it’s a party line vote.
With the unemployment rate still among 18-year lows and the Dow Jones Industrial Average still among all-time highs, voters are slowly giving President Trump more credit than President Obama for the improving economy, though there remains a stark partisan divide. Voters agree, though, that impeaching Trump would be a detriment to the nation’s economy.
President Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, is currently on federal trial in Virginia on bank and tax fraud charges.
The FBI is in possession of taped recordings of President Trump and his former attorney Michael Cohen discussing payment for a former Playboy model’s story of an alleged affair prior to Trump’s election. But while most voters are following this news closely, they’re split over its impact on their vote.
Republicans relate more to President Trump these days than they have since he was first elected, and they believe more strongly now that it’s important to keep the party on his side.
President Trump caught flack even from members of his own party following his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, but most Republicans think Trump is more aggressive with Russia than his predecessors and a majority of all voters continue to agree with Trump that Russia is an asset.
Despite the media’s deep unhappiness over President Trump’s meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, most Republicans think he did just fine. Democrats and unaffiliated voters disagree.
For Republicans, Donald Trump’s presidency will go down in the record books as a successful one. But for Democrats, Trump's time in the White House won't be praised.
