New low for Supreme Court popularity

Duh. Make decisions that go against history and the will of the people and of course you won’t be popular.

A new poll from Gallup has found confidence in the U.S. Supreme Court has reached a record low as the branch’s conservative majority continues to pass down controversial rulings. https://t.co/pAmpY6UXQo

I’m genuinely confused about what’s driving the Supreme Court’s low approval rating among Republicans. Are they mad that the Court didn’t crown Donald Trump emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico? pic.twitter.com/8DmCYEDWeR

We have some polling now in the wake of Dobbs.

–@maristpoll: D+5 -> D+7

Starting points can be questioned, but when all three polls show movement after a decision that every poll agrees is unpopular, something is likely shifting
