The three-day telephone poll of 1,006 adult Americans was begun on January 20, a week after his confirmation hearing ended.
According to the survey, the percentage of Americans who believed Alito should be confirmed rose to 54 percent from 49 percent. Those opposed remained unchanged at 30 percent.
