Approval of Supreme Court Dips Below 50%

A new Gallup poll finds 49% of Americans approve of the job the U.S. Supreme Court is doing, its first approval rating below the majority level since 2017. A year ago, 58% approved of the court.

However, unlike in 2017, when wide party gaps in ratings of the court drove its approval below 50%, today Republicans and Democrats view it similarly.

Republicans disapproving of a 6-3 conservative court at the same level as Democrats is pretty astounding.
