The Jury's Still Out On Sotomayor
Some 58 percent of respondents in a CBS News/New York Times survey that wrapped up this week say they haven't heard enough about Sonia Sotomayor to form an opinion on her or haven't made up their minds. In addition, 53 percent couldn't say if she should be confirmed or rejected. On both questions, about one-third of respondents viewed her positively and 9 percent negatively.
Respondents in a poll conducted at about the same time for NBC News and the Wall Street Journal were a little more certain -- 43 percent supported her either strongly or somewhat, 20 percent opposed her, and 35 percent didn't know enough to say (that's still a better number than any of George W. Bush's three nominees had).
