WASHINGTON, D.C. — Confidence in the U.S. Supreme Court has fallen to its lowest level since NBC News began tracking the measure, according to a new national survey of registered voters.
The poll found that only 22 percent of respondents said they had either “a great deal” or “quite a bit” of confidence in the nation’s highest court. That figure marks a decline from 29 percent in July 2024 and 27 percent in August 2022, when the survey first began measuring voter attitudes toward the court.
Meanwhile, 40 percent of respondents said they have “some” confidence in the court, while 28 percent reported having “very little” confidence and 10 percent said they had none at all. The results suggest a continuing erosion of public trust as the court has issued several politically significant rulings in recent years.
The Supreme Court has drawn intense attention following decisions such as overturning Roe v. Wade and ruling in favor of President Donald Trump on questions surrounding presidential immunity. At the same time, the court recently rejected most of Trump’s sweeping tariff policies, a decision supported by 54 percent of respondents in the NBC News poll.
The survey also found Trump’s job approval rating slipping slightly to 44 percent, down from 47 percent one year earlier. The poll surveyed 1,000 registered voters between Feb. 27 and March 3 and carries a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points.
