Unlike 2016, polling this year suggests Democrats more motivated by Supreme Court than Republicans

The death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has the ability to upend the 2020 presidential election. But while most analysis suggests President Donald Trump was helped by the opportunity to appoint a new justice in the 2016 election, polling this time around suggests something different may be in the offing.

I should point out that while it could shift in the days and weeks to come, polling initially shows that former Vice President Joe Biden’s voters have been more likely to be fired up about Supreme Court selections and that voters overall trust Biden more on a Supreme Court selection. CONT.
