No worries.

Trump will appoint Liberals to the Supreme Court. Ted Cruz said so.

It's only one poll. We'll see how it plays out in the actual voting on Saturday.

However, I have a theory.

I think it won't hurt Trump very much because I think that deep down inside, in places they don't talk about at parties, these working class white people that support Trump know that Bush screwed them, they just don't want to admit that they were duped.

'Donald Trump's Supporters in South Carolina Are Even Scarier Than You Thought'

"The folks at Public Policy Polling can be such scamps. They generally throw in questions that reveal that a large percentage of the American population believes that the late Merv Griffin came from Europa in order to fix the bolts in Arthur Treacher's neck. Recently, they went down to South Carolina to check what's going on with the Republican natives in the home office of American sedition. The results are scarifying." Charlie Pierce at Esquire

1. Trump (or later someone from the D side) files the lawsuit re Cruz eligibility for POTUS.
2. Gotta be decided right away, so the SCOTUS appointment is made before the election.
3. We're screwed.

The SCOTUS can operate with 8 justices. In fact, 6 justices constitute a quorum on the SCOTUS.

Was a similar poll conducted on the supporters of other presidential candidates?

I believe there was a link to it in the story or you could look at the PPP website.
