4. This article published Sept. 1, and the August polls date before hearings

were held on Kavanaugh's nomination, Sept. 5-7 by the Senate Judiciary Committee. After the televised and reported hearings, many more Americans became aware of his positions, background and associations.

Since July 9 when Kavanaugh's nomination was first announced, groups and activists have been organizing to inform and educate the public in order to oppose the placement of Kavanaugh on the high court.

During the hearings, Sen. Cory Booker also emphasized that Judge Kavanaugh was on the 3rd list of choices drawn up by the WH, in a year. Why Kavanaugh didn't make the 1st, or 2nd list raised concerns as Booker questioned.

The polling data from summer still demonstrates a high level of opposition prior to the Sept. hearings:
A CNN poll conducted between August 9 and August 12 found that only 28 % of women polled thought the Senate should confirm Kavanaugh, compared with 47 % of men.
The same poll found that low numbers of women see Kavanaugh’s legal views as mainstream, especially compared with men. 50 % of men polled thought Kavanaugh’s views were mainstream, compared with 35 percent of women.
