Politics: Elena Kagan’s big public problem? People don’t know her yet
- 40% of people have a positive or fair opinion of Kagan
- 36% have a fair or negative opinion of the Supreme Court nominee
- 24% are wondering who the heck you’re talking about source

The reason for this, mostly, is the high number of “no opinions” – most of Bush’s choices scored around 15 percent there.
