US EditionGallup Poll: 43% of Americans Say Supreme Court Is 'Too Conservative'
Gallup reports a near record-low 43% approval rating for the Supreme Court amid concerns over its 6-3 conservative majority since 2020.
- A recent Gallup survey released Wednesday revealed that 43% of Americans believe the Supreme Court leans excessively toward conservative views, reaching the highest level recorded since the poll began.
- The increase follows the Court's shift to a 6-3 conservative majority and notable rulings including the 2022 overturning of Roe v. Wade.
- The survey, which included 1,000 U.S. adults and was carried out from September 2 through September 16, has a margin of error of ±4 percentage points and reveals divisions in approval along party lines.
- While 79% of Republicans approve of the Court, only 14% of Democrats do, with overall approval at 42% and 52% disapproving its performance.
- The low approval and wide partisan gap suggest growing polarization around the Court’s role, reflecting broader trust declines in the judicial system over 15 years.

Gallup Poll: 43% of Americans say Supreme Court is 'too conservative'
A new Gallup Poll has suggested the popularity of the U.S. Supreme Court is pushing an all-time low, with more than 40% of Americans saying they believe the court is "too conservative" in its judicial leanings.
New High Say Supreme Court Is Too Conservative
Gallup: “Forty-three percent of Americans think the current Supreme Court is too conservative. Though that proportion is not meaningfully different from 2022-2024 readings, it is the highest Gallup has measured by one percentage point.” “The remainder of Americans are more inclined to say the court is ‘about right’ (36%) rather than ‘too liberal’ (17%).”
