Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : She became a leader of a years-long effort to repeal the Act, which was successful in 2022.
51% : When it lapsed in 2019, Feinstein led the charge to reauthorize it, but faced conservative resistance because the reauthorization bill added protections for LGBTQ partners and sought to close the "boyfriend loophole," extending restrictions on gun ownership to people who had abused partners to whom they were not married.
44% : It took until 2022 for Feinstein to overcome resistance and reauthorize the Act.
35% : Within a few years she was departing from pro-Israel orthodoxy in other areas: She opposed proposed Iran sanctions in 2014 because she feared the underlying legislation would draw the United States into a war on Israel's behalf.
31% : Also in 1994, Feinstein joined then-Sen. Joe Biden in passing the Violence Against Women Act.
