A Washington Post-ABC poll has found that an overwhelming majority of Republicans support President Donald Trump filling the Supreme Court vacancy left by the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg instead of waiting for the winner of the presidential election to forward a nominee next year with a new Senate.

According to The Washington Post, 80% of self-described Republicans want Trump to fill the Supreme Court seat with the current U.S. Senate, while only 16% want to wait for the winner of the 2020 presidential election to fill the court vacancy with the new Senate.
