  • Amy Coney Barrett
    Post-Hearing Analysis: Amy Coney Barrett Introduction After President Trump nominated Amy Coney Barrett, Alliance for Justice issued our report. Reviewing her record, it was clear that if Barrett is confirmed, the American people will suffer grave harm. Millions will lose their health insurance. The clock will be turned back on critical rights and legal protections. Her record overwhelmingly demonstrates that she would be an extreme member of the Court and would implement the dangerous agenda of President Trump and the Republican Party. This week, Amy Coney Barrett’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee only confirmed and reinforced our prior conclusions. When pressed regarding Trump’s litmus tests — and her own record — she was evasive, misleading, and even contemptuous. She was visibly annoyed that senators had the gall to probe her record and views. She chastised senators for asking questions she decided she would not answer. She failed to turn over key documents to the Senate.. She famously held up a blank notepad, proudly displaying she had taken no notes; an apt metaphor for how she went out of her way not to address the very real concerns and fears millions of people have with her nomination. Republican senators spent the hearings trying to downplay the stakes and pretend that they were only interested in judges who will neutrally and without bias apply the law. Ted Cruz once asked a previous Trump nominee — who he later forced to withdraw — what that judge had ever done to advance the conservative cause. Yet, over days of hearing, Republicans tried to pretend they weren’t pushing an agenda.

  • Omnibus June 2019 Dem Primary
    Democratic Dividing Lines Verified Voter Omnibus Survey N=484 Democrats or Democratic leaners June 22 - June 25, 2019 !X!1 Key Findings • Biden’s lead among 24 announced Democratic candidates has narrowed by 6-points since May to 32% of the Democratic vote. • Biden’s 6-point drop came with a concurrent 6-point gain by Elizabeth Warren to 11% of the Democratic vote, or 4- points behind Bernie Sanders who takes 15% of the Democratic vote. • Biden continues to lead both Sanders and Warren in head to head match-ups, but his lead has narrowed to 30-points from both Sanders and Warren, down from 36-points ahead of Sanders and 47-points ahead of Warren in May. • 73% of Democrats plan to watch the debates, or coverage of the debates. Ahead of the kickoff of tonight’s debates, we tested Democratic concern about two recent pieces of news about Biden — his flip flopping on the Hyde Amendment’s impact on access to abortion, and past associations with segregationists. • We found the Hyde Amendment resonates more strongly with Democratic voters, with 39% of Democrats concerned about Biden’s stance on the Hyde Amendment, and 22% concerned about his associations with segregationists. • Particularly concerned are women, African Americans, younger voters, and more educated voters. !2 Methodology • Using a voter file-matched online panel, we surveyed n=1,006 registered voters across the country from June 22 to June 25, 2019, with a sample of 484 Democrats or Democratic-leaning Independents. • With our third monthly tracking survey of 2019, we were able to confirm the voting history of participants and track changes in the attitudes and behaviors of key 2020 voters since our last survey of verified Democratic or Democratic-leaning Independent voters from May 20 to May 21, 2019.

Elizabeth Warren has joined former Vice President Joe Biden at the front of the pack in New Hampshire, according to the latest Monmouth University Poll. She has taken support from both Biden and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders since Monmouth’s first poll of the state’s Democratic contest this past spring. The poll also finds that most primary voters say they prioritize electability over issue alignment, but seem to feel they are not actually forced to make that choice when it comes down to it. Among registered New Hampshire Democrats and unaffiliated voters who are likely to participate in the February 2020 Democratic primary, 27% currently support Warren and 25% support Biden. The only other candidates in double digits are Sanders at 12% and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg at 10%. Others with measurable support are California Sen. Kamala Harris (3%), New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker (2%), Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (2%), Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar (2%), former hedge fund manager Tom Steyer (2%), and entrepreneur Andrew Yang (2%). The remaining 10 candidates included in the poll earn 1% or less. Compared to Monmouth’s prior New Hampshire poll, which was in May, Warren’s support has grown by 19 points (from 8%) while Biden’s has dropped by 11 points (from 36%).

  • Omnibus August 2019 Dem Primary
    August Democratic Primary Update Verified Voter Omnibus Survey N=479 Democrats or Democratic leaners August 19 - August 21, 2019 !X!1 Key Findings • While Joe Biden’s share of votes among 23 Democratic Presidential candidates tested relatively consistent, with 30% of the Democratic vote and down 3 points from 33% last month, while Bernie Sanders secured a 5 point gain to 19% of the Democratic vote. • Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren are now running neck and neck, with both Harris and Warren each capturing 11 percent of the Democratic vote. • Biden’s lead in head to head match-ups against top candidates narrowed most dramatically against Sanders. In July, Biden held a 29 point advantage against Sanders in a head to head match-ups. Today, Biden’s lead against Sanders narrowed to 20 points, or identical to Biden’s 20 point lead against Warren. Biden’s lead against Harris remains consistent, moving from a 23 point lead in July to a 24 point lead against Harris today. • Demographic differences drive Democratic vote choice: • Sanders and Biden are statistically tied among whites without college degrees, while Warren is the closest alternative to Biden among college-educated whites. • Biden, Harris, and Booker overperform among black Democratic voters, while Warren receives 1% in this group. • The apparent Sanders surge is more muted when looking at Democrats with a history of voting in Democratic primaries. Sanders is stronger among Democratic identifiers who didn’t vote in the 2016 or 2018 primaries, while Warren runs more than twice as strong among Democrats who’ve voted in those primaries versus those who haven’t.
