Sotomayor slipping
As already noted, the bar sinister was far from pleased with nominee Sotomayor’s furious backpedaling. Now Rasmussen reluctantly admits that while an overwhelming majority think this jurist will be confirmed, a plurality believe she should not be.
Following Two Days of Hearings, 90% Expect Sotomayor to Be Confirmed
RasmussenReports...
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 37% of voters now favor her confirmation while 43% are opposed. Importantly, those who are undecided have a positive view of President Obama and are probably willing to give him and his nominee the benefit of the doubt.
...
The partisan divide over the nominee is predictable. By a three-to-one margin, Democrats say Sotomayor should be confirmed, and by a similar margin Republicans hold the opposite view. Fifty-five percent (55%) of those not affiliated with either major party oppose her confirmation.
Eighty-three percent (83%) also say the U.S. legal system should apply the law equally to all Americans rather than using the law to help those who have less power and influence.
Interesting times indeed.
