No. Since they said they don't favor a vote they could both simply abstain instead of voting no and stay consistent, still leaving it at 51:47, even 2 more abstentions don't change the outcome. They need to commit to 'no' votes or this doesn't matter and just gives them cover.
GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska says she doesn't support taking up a Supreme Court nomination so close to the election. She's the second Republican senator to oppose confirming a justice before Nov. 3. Four Republicans could block confirmation.http://apne.ws/GrVAloS

Depends on if they vote “present” or they vote “no”. If they vote “present” then republicans can lose up to 5 senators and still confirm the nominee with a 48-47 majority.
