This is an interesting article about public opinion
surrounding the Supreme Court nominee. Because only 33% of Americans approve of
waiting until the next president is in the White House to consider nominees to
the SCOTUS, the GOP is risking its public opinion by impeding consideration. It
would not hurt the GOP’s public image nearly as much if it were to at least
nominally consider Merrick Garland’s nomination. Republican approval rating in
Congress sits at 15% and disapproval is over 80%, both of which are motivations
for the Republicans to at least think about talking about a nominee.
