Story at Washington Examiner. With more relevant stats there.
They all know it's important but they cannot name them. They're interested in following the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh.
The most recognized was Ginsburg. The next most recognized were Thomas and Roberts.
C-SPAN is interested in what percentage of people would like to have televised arguments (64%).
I bet they'd do better with a little prompting. The thing is people do not live in that space, nor should they. In their own mental space they're suddenly presented with a pop-quiz about something they really shouldn't need to know. And if they do know it's because the issues are politicized, the justices are politicized, and that's not a good thing. I'm satisfied that people cannot name them. It's how it should be. That you can name all of them means they get more attention than they should. Plus you're so doggone smart. You should be on Jeopardy!.

Another reason the Demos are going to be disappointed.
They think conformation of Kavanaugh will inflame the electorate.
Is anyone on here ever the subject of one of those political polls that are always inserted in the talking points? Or any poll? Because (and not for the first time) I begin to think that people who get polled are possibly more stupid than most.
I take online polls for payment. One of the recent ones asked what will be the number one reason for voting in 2018. The listed choices included things like immigration, health care,inflation, etc. One of the choices was Donald Trump. That's it, just the name. It would be interesting to know who commissioned the poll and how exactly would they use use that option.
If it was a democrat sponsored poll, which I suspect it was, they will spin it as negative concern heralding a blue wave. However someone could have chosen that option as a way of stating support for Trump and indicating voting for his agenda and support for MAGA.
Polling seems to be a shyster's game.
Ha! Of course exception is made for people who participate in polls in order to screw them up. I hope some of the people who couldn't name a single USSC justice were faking it. Though I've seen enough Jay Walking episodes and similar to know that they're probably not. The Clintons made polling part of their procedure and now it's worthless. One more thing they ruined. But also cell phone technology, apathy, and antipathy to being disparaged for giving the politically incorrect answer skews polls.
