How Views of SCOTUS Have Changed since 2022 Abortion Ruling, According to a New Poll

The views are highly partisan

Americans' views of the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) have moderated somewhat since the court's standing dropped sharply after its ruling overturning Roe v. Wade in 2022, according to a new poll. But concern that the court has too much power is rising, fueled largely by Democrats.

The survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that about a third of U.S. adults have "hardly any confidence at all" in the court, but that's down from 43 percent three years ago. As the new AP-NORC polling tracker shows, about half of Americans have "only some confidence" in the court, up from 39 percent in July 2022, while a relatively small number, about 1 in 5, have "a great deal of confidence," which hasn't shifted meaningfully in the past few years.

The moderate increase in confidence is driven by Republicans and independents.
