A new CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll shows that 72% of Americans believe President Obama should nominate either a moderate or conservative to be the next Supreme Court Justice. Only 27% believe the next nominee should be somewhat or very liberal.
Additionally, people overwhelmingly want the nominee to have experience as a judge. As for that litmus test of the chattering class that keeps insisting the nominee be either a woman or minority, most Americans disagree with 61% saying it’s not important that the nominee be a woman, approximately 75% saying it’s not important to be a Hispanic, and almost 80% saying he or she doesn’t need to be African-American.
68% of Americans do indicate in this survey that they did not want Roe v. Wade overturned, but the question was skewed to misrepresent what Roe did by claiming that it only allows abortion in the first trimester rather than the reality that, since Roe, abortion has been and continues to be legal in all nine months of pregnancy for any reason.
