National Survey Shows Strength of a Conservative Supreme Court Nominee

(Tupelo, MS) - A recent national survey commissioned by American Values and the American Family Association finds that voters favor a “more conservative” - over a “more liberal” - U.S. Supreme Court by 50.3 percent to 30.5 percent. Majorities of survey respondents also indicated that they disapprove of a number of the high court’s most liberal decisions.

“This survey demonstrates that President Bush’s judicial nominees need not fear appearing before the U.S. Senate and stating their opposition to the liberal judicial agenda. During his upcoming confirmation hearings, John Roberts should confidently defend his conservative philosophy,” said Gary Bauer, president of American Values.

The national survey of public opinion was conducted July 18 and 19 among 800 likely general election voters throughout the United States. All interviews were conducted by professional interviewers by telephone. Interview selection was conducted randomly from among lists of registered voters. The sample was constructed to statistically correlate with actual voter distributions across the country. The accuracy of this nationwide survey with 800 likely voters is within a margin of error of +/-3.46 percent at a 95 percent confidence interval.
