GOP internal poll: Swing state voters trust Biden more to fill SCOTUS vacancy

The poll — conducted over the weekend among about 1,500 likely voters in 17 swing states, including Arizona, Wisconsin, Florida, North Carolina and Pennsylvania — showed that 51 percent of voters said they trust Biden more than Trump to handle the vacancy, while only 43 percent said they trusted Trump.

And 52 percent said the Senate should hold hearings after the election, while 41 percent said it should hold hearings before the election.
