According to a recent poll conducted by Marquette Law School and released on Tuesday, only 40 percent of adults approve of the job the Supreme Court is doing, while a majority of 60 percent disapprove. This marks a slight decrease from previous approval ratings throughout 2023, which had ranged between 41 and 47 percent.

The dissatisfaction with the Supreme Court appears to have stemmed from significant events in recent years, such as the overturning of Roe v. Wade in July 2022, which saw the court hit a low approval rating of 38 percent. Since then, approval has not exceeded 47 percent, compared to a high of 66 percent in mid-2020.

Of particular note is the drop in support from Democrats, with approval among surveyed Democrats plummeting from 60 percent in September 2020 to just 27 percent in February 2024. The poll also found divided opinions on the case involving the Colorado Supreme Court's decision to remove former President Donald Trump from the 2024 election ballots, with 50 percent in favor of the court overturning the decision and 50 percent opposing it.

The Marquette Law School poll surveyed 1,003 adults nationwide online between February 5 and 15, with a margin of error of plus-or-minus 4.3 percentage points. The results paint a vivid picture of the persisting dissatisfaction with the Supreme Court's actions among the American public.
