A new Morning Consult poll released on Wednesday shows that support among Democrat voters for confirming President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Amy Coney Barrett, has increased by double digits in just a matter of days.

“Democrats are losing the Supreme Court messaging war, new polling indicates, with support for Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation trending in the GOP’s direction,” Morning Consult said in a press release Wednesday. “Nearly half (46 percent) of voters in an Oct. 2-4 Morning Consult/Politico poll said the Senate should confirm Barrett — up 9 percentage points since President Donald Trump announced her nomination on Sept. 26 — as more voters say the chamber should consider her elevation to the high court as soon as possible, regardless of who wins next month’s election.”
