A new Gallup poll finds Americans’ approval of the U.S. Supreme Court’s job performance has fallen to 33%, a record low level in the survey’s time series. The poll is released as the Supreme Court goes into summer recess after issuing its final opinions for the term. According to the reporting, the decline is driven mainly by changes among Republicans. Republicans’ approval is reported to have fallen from about 79% last year to 58% in the current poll, which is described as the lowest level among Republicans since 2023, when it was 56%. The poll also shows that approval among Democrats and independents remains low and largely unchanged compared with the prior year, with Democrats reported at around 12% and independents around 35%.
