Poll: Majority Of Americans Support Alito Confirmation

Only a day after John Kerry announced his opposition to Samuel Alito because he felt Alito would "take the court backwards," a poll released yesterday showed that most Americans would prefer a court that might take a bit of a step "backwards."

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Public support for Senate confirmation of U.S. Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito grew slightly to 54 percent after his often stormy Senate hearing, a poll released on Monday showed.

The CNN/USA Today/Gallup survey also found that only about one in three Americans believe President George W. Bush's conservative candidate would vote, as critics fear, to reverse the 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion.

Kerry and his partners in leftist ideology havn't yet discovered that many Americans feel that the courts have moved far enough already.
