Asked whether it would make a difference if Republican Sen. Ron Johnson opposed confirmation hearings, 41 percent of voters said it would not. Another 41 percent said they would be less likely to vote for him and 18 percent said they would be more likely to support him.

Half the voters polled said they already plan to vote for Democratic former Sen. Russ Feingold, while 37 percent said they will vote for Johnson. Eighteen percent were undecided.

Forty-seven percent said they plan to vote for presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, compared to 39 percent who said they will vote for Trump. Fourteen percent were undecided in the presidential election.

Johnson met with Garland last month, but has continued to oppose Obama filling the seat vacated by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia. Johnson and other Republican senators argue the pick should be made by the next president after the 2016 election.
