64% want Citizens United overturned

Common Dreams - While much of the attention of advocacy groups, lawmakers, and the media has rightly centered on grave concerns that President Donald Trump's next Supreme Court pick could vote to eliminate abortion rights, a Daily Beast/Ipsos poll  found that "the most galvanizing issue" for Americans of both parties is whether Trump's nominee will curb the vast and corrupting influence of corporate money in politics.

According to the new survey, 70 percent of Democrats, 67 percent of Republicans, and 60 percent of independents oppose the Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United ruling—which unleashed a flood of big business cash into the political system—and said they want Trump to nominate a justice who would limit corporate spending in politics.

Overall, 64 percent of respondents said they want Trump to choose a justice who will rein in unlimited corporate political spending.
