A majority of Americans oppose Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation to Supreme Court, according to a new CNN poll conducted in the days before he was confirmed on Saturday.

Overall, 51 percent of those polled said they oppose Kavanaugh, while 41 percent said they support him, both upticks from what Americans told CNN pollsters in early September.

The percentage of people opposing him shot up by 12 percentage points after three women accused him of sexual misconduct, with 39 percent opposing him before the women came out.
