Confidence in Supreme Court hits record low: Survey
Only 22% of registered voters express strong confidence in the Supreme Court amid controversial rulings and partisan tensions, the lowest level since NBC News began polling in 2000.
- The NBC News poll found 22% of registered voters nationally have confidence in the Supreme Court, the lowest since 2000.
- A string of high-profile rulings has eroded trust, including the 2022 overturning of Roe v. Wade and the U.S. Supreme Court's 6-3 conservative majority shaping views despite recently ruling against Trump.
- Public reaction to the tariff ruling was mixed, with 54% approving and 38% having very little or no confidence in the Supreme Court, according to NBC News poll. Respondents' confidence is sharply split along partisan lines, with 9% of Democrats and 35% of Republicans reporting significant confidence.
- Experts warn a sustained fall in trust creates practical problems for life-appointed Supreme Court justices, who lack enforcement power and rely on public faith, with Jeff Horwitt saying 'At this stage... they are getting it from both sides'.
- Compared with past measures, the court's standing has swung dramatically, with confidence down to 27% since December 2000's 52% peak, Maya Sen said high-profile rulings shape public opinion.
