Many Republican senators are proposing to delay action on President Obama's yet-to-be announced nominee to fill the U.S. Supreme Court seat vacated by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, but most voters think the Senate has a responsibility to vote on all of the president's nominees.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 58% of Likely U.S. Voters believe every person the president nominates to serve as a judge or in a government position should receive an up or down vote on the floor of the Senate. That's up from 50% when we first asked this question in July 2013. Just 21% disagree, while another 21% are undecided.
