The February and March introduction read: Recently, a Supreme Court Justice passed away leaving a vacancy on the court. President Obama will nominate a new person to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. * Asked of one-half the respondents (FORM A). + Results shown reflect responses among registered voters.

Q34

The U.S. Constitution requires the President to nominate a candidate to fill an opening on the Supreme Court. The U.S. Senate has the responsibility to confirm or reject a nominee. Republicans who control the Senate say they will not hold confirmation hearings and have no plans to consider a nominee put forward by President Obama. Do you approve or disapprove of this decision not to consider President Obama’s nominee, or do you not have an opinion one way or the other? (IF "APPROVE" OR "DISAPPROVE," ASK:) And do you strongly (approve/disapprove) or just somewhat (approve/disapprove)?

Approve Strongly approve ....................................................... Somewhat approve ................................................... Disapprove Somewhat disapprove ............................................... Strongly disapprove ..................................................
