Gallup Poll: Supreme Court Hits Highest Approval Rating in Over a Decade

A majority of Americans think the Supreme Court is doing a good job, CNN reports. 

According to results from a Gallup Poll released Wednesday, the high court has earned its highest approval rating in over a decade.

Poll results show:

• 58% of Americans say they approve of the job the court is doing.
• 60% of Republicans say they approve of the work the court is doing this year.
• 56% of Democrats say they approve of the court’s job this year.
• 57% of independents say they approve of the job the court is doing this year.

Support from Republicans this year is down 13% from 2019, according to the poll results. But support has increased from Democrats. Last year, just 38% of Democrats said they approved of the court’s job.

Overall, Americans support the Supreme Court by 4 more percentage points this year than last year.

The Supreme Court recently heard cases on abortion, the Obama administration’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, religious liberty and executive power.
