Poll: Heitkamp, Manchin in Trouble as Constituents Want Brett Kavanaugh Confirmed

Sens. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) face significant electoral pressure as another poll released on Tuesday confirmed that a majority of their constituents want Supreme Court Justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh confirmed.

The Judicial Crisis Network (JCN) released a poll on Tuesday revealing that a majority of Manchin and Heitkamp’s constituents want Kavanaugh confirmed to the Supreme Court.

Fifty-six percent of North Dakotans want Kavanaugh confirmed to the nation’s highest court, while only 26 oppose his confirmation. A majority of independents, or 51 percent, also want the nominee added to the Supreme Court. Fifty percent of women also want Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

Fifty-eight percent of West Virginians want Kavanaugh confirmed to the Supreme Court, compared to 28 percent who do not want the Senate to confirm Kavanaugh. Fifty-nine percent of independents want the judge confirmed, while only 26 percent do not.

Carrie Severino, the JCN chief counsel and policy director, said in a press release on Tuesday:


Clear majorities in North Dakota and West Virginia – including women and Independents – support Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation. Senators Heitkamp and Manchin need to decide whether they stand with Judge Kavanaugh and President Trump, or with the outrageous smear campaign unleashed by Chuck Schumer and the liberal mob.

The JCN also launched a $400,000 TV and digital ad campaign to urge Sens. Manchin and Heitkamp to “listen to their constituents” and confirm Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

Sens. Manchin and Heitkamp previously broke with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and voted to confirm Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court:

It is a shame that Manchin is on a hot seat right now. I know the Manchin family and,
yes, they are Democrats - but a very rare breed called Conservative Democrats.

I met his uncle, A. James Manchin. A bit of a character, but staunch defender of the
state and their constituents.
