Support For Amy Coney Barrett Confirmation Ticks Up As Hearings Begin

Public support for Judge Amy Coney Barrett to join the Supreme Court has ticked up as her confirmation hearings proceed in the Senate.

Morning Consult and Politico surveyed roughly 2,000 registered voters from Oct. 9-11, ending the polling on the eve of Barrett’s first day of hearings in the Senate. The survey found that support for Barret’s confirmation had ticked up slightly from 46% a week ago to 48%, though still within the poll’s 2-point margin of error. The level of opposition to Barrett’s confirmation remained unchanged at 31%.
