Looking back at '16, NBC/WSJ asked several times about how the Scalia seat should be filled:
February 2016
Vote on Obama pick 43%
Leave vacant & wait for new president 42%
March 2016
Vote on Obama 48%
Leave and wait 37%
April 2016
Vote on Obama pick 52%
Leave and wait 30%

Except after Scalia's death, the Trump/GOP position in '16 was broadly unpopular. It's remembered as successful because he won and more Trump voters cited the court as their top issue. But again what I wonder is....
....Were these voters who would have otherwise gone 3rd party/stayed home, or were they always going to be there for Trump in the end and were simply primed by GOP messaging to cite the court as their top issue in a way Dems weren't?
