Americans are divided on major issues before the U.S. Supreme Court but most agree on one thing. According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll, a majority do not see the nation's top judicial body as politically neutral. Specifically, 58% disagreed that the high court is neutral while only 20% agreed. The rest did not know or did not respond. Among Democrats, only 10% agreed the court was politically neutral while 74% disagreed. Among Republicans, 29% agreed and 54% disagreed. The Supreme Court's popularity has declined since its 2022 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. In 2021, 57% expressed a favorable opinion of the court. By the end of 2022, that figure had fallen to 43%. This year, 44% of respondents expressed a favorable view of the court, including 67% of Republicans and 26% of Democrats. Reuters has more on the poll’s findings.
