Public approval of U.S. Supreme Court reaches new low of 33%

A recent Gallup poll, conducted July 1-19, 2026, indicates that public approval of the U.S. Supreme Court has dropped to a record low of 33%, with disapproval at 61%. This decline is largely attributed to a significant decrease in Republican support since last year, following a term with notable rulings. This record low approval reflects growing public dissatisfaction with the judiciary, potentially impacting the court's legitimacy and public trust in its decisions.
