Voters have an increasingly unfavorable opinion of Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan but are more convinced than ever that she will be confirmed by the U.S. Senate.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 41% of U.S. voters now hold a favorable opinion of Kagan but 47% view her unfavorably, up from 43% a week ago and 39% just after President Obama announced her nomination.
These findings include 15% with a Very Favorable opinion and 23% who regard her Very Unfavorably. This, too, marks a shift from the first survey when Kagan’s Very Favorables were 18% and Very Unfavorables were 17%.
By comparison, the president’s first Supreme Court nominee, Sonia Sotomayor, maintained favorables around 50% through the first three surveys following her selection, with unfavorables falling to 40%.

Make your first call to Orrin Hatch. /s
The woman is an anti-Constitutional loon. Read her writing for the Harvard Law Review “Presidential Administration” — It’s about how the president takes over America and runs it through the bureaucracy.
Of course it forgets about the public being armed part. But she is also anti-Second Amendment.
If the Republicans were smart they’d do everything possible to stop this woman. It would be the right fight, because more than just the conservative base see the problems with her. (And that number will grow as more leaks out about her record/positions.) But it would also fire up the base and persuade us that once in a while the Republicans can take a principled stand and actually score a victory.
A 41 % favorable rating is better than Obamacare is doing in the polls so that will matter not one whit to the Demonrats who will ram Kagan through to confirmation.
Another reason I hate polls/surveys. This, like all of them, means nothing.
But wait- look at how good hiring an inexperience partisan zealot has worked out in the presidency!!
See, I’m not sure I understand this argument. Face the facts, if Kagan is shot down (and she won’t be) the next nominee will be more liberal, much more liberal. There is a dem president and dem congress—there will be a dem SCOTUS nominee. Kagan is about as unoffensive as could reasonably be expected. (Garland might be slightly more so.)
Amen, bro. The trick is getting the morons in Congress to pay attention to the laundry we dig up.
0bama doesn’t care if Kagan is an unpopular choice.
Appointing people who will rape thr Constitution for the next 30 years is all he cares about.
Kagan is moonbat leftist crazy. I’m not playing games, but I honestly don’t have the time to delineate all her extremist liberal insanity at this moment. I made a quick post, and didn’t expect to get into a back and forth over it. I’m confident is you do some digging, you’ll hit the mother-lode. Or if you’re already fully aware of how psychotically leftist she is, and you think his next one will be even worse, then I guess we don’t have anything to talk about anyway, even if time were not an issue.
How the heck is it under 50 percent?
On whose standards?
Yours?
You don’t have time because you can’t. And that’s OK, her record is extremely thin. However, there’s not much to justify the adjectives you’re tossing around. The court will almost certainly tilt more right with Kagan rather than Stevens on it—and much of the criticism against Kagan is from the left because she is too centrist.
To me, it’s a matter of managing expectations. You’re not going to get Miguel Estrada nominated from this congress/president. Fact. So who—that might reasonably be nominated—would be more favorable to the R’s? I can only think of Garland.
Within the spectrum of realistic candidates.
The country needs some more edumacation.
You just called a fellow Freeper a liar - with no basis or evidence whatsoever. That is damned disgusting behavior and you should be ashamed.
thought it was more than that with unfavorable view of her
