The only two nominees with weaker support were Harriet Miers, who withdrew her nomination in 2005, and Robert Bork, who was rejected by the Senate in 1987.
Kavanaugh's confirmation hearings began on Tuesday and are expected to last the rest of the week.
US President Donald Trump announced the nomination of Kavanaugh on July 9 to replace justice Anthony Kennedy, who stepped down from the high court.
