The poll shows that a majority of likely voters nationally — 57 percent — do not believe that Trump should be able to nominate a replacement for Ginsburg. A little more than a third of respondents — 37 percent — say that he should fill the open seat.
Trump has said that he plans to name his pick to replace Ginsburg on the court as soon as Friday, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell

The CNBC-Change Research poll surveyed 3,018 likely voters across Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin from Sept. 18 to 20. A companion poll of likely voters nationally surveyed 1,430 likely voters. The margin of sampling error is 1.79 percentage points for the battleground state polling and 2.59 percentage points for the national polling.
