Approval of the Supreme Court at new lows; strong partisan differences over abortion, gun rights

A new Marquette Law School Poll national survey finds approval of the U.S. Supreme Court has fallen to 38%, while 61% disapprove of how the Court is handling its job. In May, 44% approved and 55% disapproved, and in March, 54% approved and 45% disapproved. …

Over the past three years, perceptions of the Court in ideological terms have shifted substantially in the conservative direction. In this most recent poll, less than half as many see the Court as “moderate” compared to perceptions in September 2019, and almost seven times as many say it is “very conservative” as was the case in September 2019.

Confidence in the Court has decreased since 2019, although the public continues to express more confidence in it than in Congress or the presidency. CONTINUED
