Amid declining trust in institutions, many Americans continue to support the Supreme Court’s decisions. As the court prepares for a new term, public confidence in its performance is waning. This issue is evident in polling data that highlights concerns about the court’s approval.
According to a July poll by Gallup, only 33 percent of Americans approve of the Supreme Court’s work. This figure marks the lowest approval rating in the 26-year history of the Gallup poll. Such a low rate indicates significant public discontent.
Meanwhile, a survey conducted by Marquette Law School provides a slightly different perspective. Though it paints a somewhat less negative picture, the court still falls short of a majority approval. The survey reports 47 percent approve of the court’s performance. In contrast, 53 percent disapprove, reflecting a divided public opinion.
Despite these numbers, the general support for the Supreme Court’s rulings continues to stand firm. This ongoing support suggests that while Americans are unhappy with institutional performance, they still see value in the court’s decisions.
