The Amy Coney Barrett nomination has something to do with the spike in Trump polls, Sabato said soccer mom's based on events are gonna keep swinging back and forth. We see that in the flux in polling. Don't underestimate Trump since he has a viable female as SCOTUS nominee in his back pocket, with soccer moms. Covid swung the election to Biden and Amy Coney Barrett can swing the election back to Trump.
Especially, since D's keep talking about nullifying the nomination by Crt packing to overturn Citizens United and they don't even have the majority yet
the nomination hasnt, if anything hurt him a bit as people want the nomination after not before the election. soccer moms also dont identify with christian fundie unless if they were one themselves
