Public support for Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination by President Donald Trump is up significantly just weeks before his confirmation hearing begins September 4.

The Quinnipiac University Poll found that 44 percent of voters support Kavanaugh’s nomination while 39 percent oppose him. The survey was conducted August 9-13.

It found in a previous survey, released July 25 and conducted July 18-23, that 40 percent want him confirmed versus 41 percent who don’t.

“Men back confirmation 49 to 36 percent. Women are divided, as 38 percent support confirmation, with 41 percent opposed,” Quinnipiac said in releasing the results of its latest survey.

The news of increasing public support for Kavanaugh (pictured center above) comes as leading Senate Democrats are beginning to rethink their across-the-board opposition strategy from when his nomination was announced July 9.

Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.) and Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.) have met with Kavanaugh in recent weeks, in the process defying Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s opposition to such gatherings.

Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) has also scheduled a meeting with Kavanaugh.

More such meetings can be expected between now and September 4, thanks to Schumer’s decision Thursday to sit down with the nominee August 21.

Schumer is demanding that an estimated 1 million documents related to Kavanaugh’s tenure in the White House working for former President George W. Bush be provided to senators before a confirmation vote is held.

“I am going to meet with him next week, and I’ll ask him about these documents and what he intends to do about it,” Schumer said, according to The Hill.

Senate Republicans like Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) say Schumer is simply trying to delay the vote until after the November election in the hope Democrats will regain control of the upper chamber.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) echoed Cornyn’s comments during a Thursday meeting of the panel. Grassley claimed Kavanaugh submitted the most robust bipartisan committee questionnaire ever, at roughly 17,000 pages, alongside nearly 250,000 documents from his service in the executive branch.

Grassley said more documents will be made public than are currently being reviewed.

Schumer also threatened to file a lawsuit against the National Archives to get the documents he wants Thursday.

If he is confirmed, Kavanaugh would join the Supreme Court from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, on which he has served since 2006.

Bush nominated him to the circuit court, which is one of the most active and important in the federal judicial system.
