Washington • Most Utahns supported the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, though voters continue to be split on whether they back President Donald Trump, a new poll shows.
Some 54 percent of registered voters said they approved of the Senate confirming Kavanaugh to the high court. Thirty-eight percent opposed the now-associate justice whose hearings were marred by allegations of sexual misconduct by three women and whose confirmation came with the lowest margin in modern Senate history.
The Salt Lake Tribune-Hinckley Institute of Politics poll found equal support for Kavanaugh among men and women — 55 percent — while younger voters skewed against the nominee and older voters for him.
