A poll found 55% of Americans believe Ketanji Brown Jackson should be confirmed as a justice on the Supreme Court.

According to a Monmouth University national poll, only 21% of Americans say she should not be confirmed, while 21% had no opinion.

When asked whether they believe Jackson is qualified to serve on the Supreme Court, 33% say she is “very qualified” compared to 14% who say she is “somewhat qualified.”

Only 9% think she is “not qualified.”

Additionally, respondents weighed in on whether it is important for the Supreme Court to “look like the racial, ethnic and gender composition of the country as a whole.”

Forty-six percent say it is “very important” while 23% say it is “somewhat important.” Only 10% believe it is “not too important.”

The poll was conducted from March 10 to 14 and surveyed 809 American adults.

Confirmation hearings for Jackson are set to begin on Monday and are expected to last four days. Jackson will appear before lawmakers during the first three days.

Politico noted Jackson could be questioned about issues including affirmative action, child pornography sentencing and representation of Guantanamo Bay detainees.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) recently targeted Jackson over her record on sex offense cases.

“Judge Jackson has a pattern of letting child porn offenders off the hook for their appalling crimes, both as a judge and as a policymaker. She’s been advocating for it since law school. This goes beyond ‘soft on crime.’ I’m concerned that this a record that endangers our children,” Hawley tweeted.

Senate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said he hopes “at the end of the day, people say ‘that was a good positive hearing,’ it went into the issues that people care about.”

He added, “Fingers crossed, we end up with bipartisan support.”

If confirmed, Jackson would become the first Black woman to serve on the court as well as the first justice who served as a public defender, as Politico pointed out.
