SEPTEMBER 29, 2020: Given a list of four politically prominent women, 34% recognize that Sandra Day O’Connor ([link removed]) was the first woman to serve on the United States Supreme Court. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that 36% mistakenly believe that Ruth Bader Ginsburg ([link removed]) was the first woman on the Court.[1] ([link removed])
Three percent (3%) believe that honor was earned by current Justice Sonia Sotomayor ([link removed]) and 3% named Margaret Chase Smith. Smith never served on the Supreme Court but was the first woman to serve in both the House of Representatives and the United States Senate. Even when presented with a list of names, 23% were not able to identify the name of the first female Supreme Court justice.[1] ([link removed])
Among voters 55 and older, a plurality—but not a majority—correctly identified O’Connor. A plurality of younger voters thought it was Ginsburg.[1] ([link removed]) A poll conducted the day after Ginsburg’s passing showed that she was viewed favorably by 64% of voters ([link removed]) .
Thirty-one percent (31%) of voters identified Ronald Reagan ([link removed]) as the first president to appoint a woman to the Court. A slightly larger number—35%—did not know.[1] ([link removed])
