BOLDUAN: Senate confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan begin Monday. White House officials are confident that Kagan will earn high marks and the votes necessary to get her confirmed, even though she has no judicial experience and has served in two Democratic administrations. But a new poll tells a bit of a different story. Deputy political director Paul Steinhauser has the details.</s>PAUL STEINHAUSER, CNN DEPUTY POLITICAL DIRECTOR: Hey, good morning, Kate. Public support for Elena Kagan's nomination to the Supreme Court is down 10 points. That according to our new CNN/Opinion Research Corporation national poll. Forty-four percent of Americans now say they want the Senate to confirm Kagan. But back in May, soon after President Obama nominated Kagan, 54 percent of those we questioned said they were in favor of her confirmation. Our polling director, Keating Holland, says the decline's coming mostly from Democrats and women, who are moving to the undecided column rather than outright opposition. And one other thing: More than 6 in 10, they say they think the Kagan confirmation hearings in the Senate will turn into a partisan food fight. Stay tuned to see if their predictions come true -- Kate.</s>BOLDUAN: And confirmation hearings begin Monday for President Obama's second Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan, as she goes before the Senate Judiciary Committee. And as a reminder, live coverage begins Monday at noon Eastern, right here on CNN. And the new iPhone -- oh yes, the new iPhone is on sale. But does the demand live up the hype? Our technology expert joins us with the answers. Stay with us.
