Americans Split on Kagan Nomination, Oppose Her More Than Sotomayor
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A new national survey finds Americans are split on the nomination of pro-abortion activist Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court, but they oppose her more than they did President Barack Obama's last pro-abortion Supreme Court nominee, Sonia Sotomayor.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of likely voters finds them almost evenly divided on confirming Kagan with 39 percent saying yes, 40 percent saying no and 20 percent undecided.
Two weeks ago, after the close of the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on Kagan's nomination, Rasmussen found 36 percent supported confirmation while 42 percent opposed her -- but ultimately there’s been little movement in Kagan’s numbers from the start.
Pollster Scott Rasmussen said that while support and opposition to Kagan run even, "By comparison, at this stage of the process last year, 41% supported the confirmation of the president’s first Supreme Court nominee, Sonia Sotomayor, and 37% opposed it."
Meanwhile, the new survey finds 44% now have at least a somewhat favorable opinion of Kagan, while 45% view her unfavorably.
"This, too, marks a slight improvement from two weeks ago when 41% viewed her favorably and 46% unfavorably. In early May, she had favorables of 45% and unfavorables of 39%," Rasmussen said. Full story at LifeNews.com
