"A majority of voters believe that Kavanaugh’s confirmation process was politicized and mishandled, with 69% calling it a 'national disgrace,'" according to the survey, which was a term Kavanaugh himself used in his statement to the Judiciary Committee. Furthermore, "voters blame both parties for being partisan, with 54% blaming the Republicans and 55% blaming Democrats. Further, 75% of voters believe that Senator Diana Feinstein should have immediately turned over the letter from Christine Ford to the Senate Judiciary committee in July, when she received it."
It should be noted that this is just one poll of many we'll be seeing in the coming days and weeks in a fast-moving story. But it is an indication that everybody should take a pause before confidently asserting how the nomination fight may play out in the midterm elections.
