Supreme Court faces continued strong disapproval, poll shows

A majority of adults still disapprove of the job the Supreme Court is doing, according to a new poll, and opposition to the 2022 Dobbs decision remains strong among those surveyed.

A
poll from Marquette Law School released Tuesday found that 40 percent of adults approve of the Supreme Court’s actions, while 60 percent disapprove. Those approval numbers mark a slight downtick after remaining between 41 and 47 percent approving throughout 2023 in previous Marquette Law School polls.

The court faced a low point of 38 percent approval in July 2022, about a month after justices voted to take away the constitutional right to abortion by
overturning Roe v. Wade. Public approval of the court has not risen higher than 47 percent approving since then, according to Marquette Law School polls, compared to approval that reached 66 percent in mid-2020.
