A majority of Americans support Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson being confirmed to the Supreme Court, with 58% saying the Senate should vote in favor of her historical nomination to the nation's highest court, according to a poll newly released by Gallup
The poll, which was taken in the weeks ahead of Jackson's confirmation hearings, shows that 30% of those polled said the Senate should not vote in favor of confirming her; an additional 12% had no opinion. These are the members of Ketanji Brown Jackson's family"Jackson's support is thus 10 percentage points above the historical norm, while the percentage without an opinion is 11 points lower," the Gallup article said.
Jackson was tapped in late February by President Joe Biden to fill the seat of Breyer, who is retiring. In doing so, Biden made good on his campaign promise to nominate the first Black woman to serve on the nation's highest court. Speaking from the White House when formally nominating Jackson, Biden said he was fulfilling his"responsibilities under the Constitution" in selecting her, noting not only her character and talents but also the significance of this nomination.
