Voters are in no bigger hurry than the Republican-led Senate to make Loretta Lynch the next U.S. attorney general.

Just 33% of Likely U.S. Voters believe the Senate should confirm the federal prosecutor from Brooklyn, N.Y., to be the nation’s highest law enforcement officer. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that only 27% oppose Lynch’s confirmation as attorney general, but 40% remain undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

These findings remain basically unchanged from late January just after Lynch’s confirmation hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee began. Sixty-one percent (61%) felt at that time, however, that President Obama’s nominee to replace Eric Holder was likely to be confirmed, although that included only 25% who said it was Very Likely.

Also little changed from the previous survey are the 35% of voters who view Lynch favorably, including 19% who have a Very Favorable opinion of her. Lynch is seen unfavorably by 28%, with 13% who share a Very Unfavorable view of the nominee. But 36% don’t know enough about her to venture even a soft opinion.

The Senate Judiciary Committee approved Lynch for confirmation by a 12-8 vote, with all eight negative votes cast by Republicans. A confirmation vote by the full Senate has been delayed due in large part to partisan disagreement over an unrelated piece of legislation. Some Democrats have accused Republicans of delaying a vote on Lynch because she is black.
