Republican spin on Kavanaugh isn't working, by Jennifer Rubin.  (Washington Post, 10/9/2018)
Contrary to GOP claims that Kavanaugh is a winning issue for the party, a majority (52 to 38 percent) of Americans believed his accusers and think he lied under oath about his alcohol use (50 to 37 percent). Moreover, “Half say Kavanaugh’s personal conduct has disqualified him to serve on the court, and 53% say his professional qualifications do not outweigh any questions about his personal conduct. A larger majority, 56%, think Kavanaugh would be influenced by his personal political beliefs when considering cases before the Supreme Court.”

Among all poll respondents, Kavanaugh went from a +2 to -14 should/should not confirm differential.

Among Republicans, from+64 to +69.
