Opposition to Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh has increased in the days following a claim that he sexually assaulted a woman when they were both in high school.

Last month, only 29 percent of voters opposed the Kavanaugh nomination, but a Wall Street Journal and NBC News poll reported Thursday that a month later, and after Christine Blasey Ford’s accusations emerged, 38 percent now oppose the nomination.
