The Supreme Court's approval rating has dropped to a historic low as Republicans abandon their traditional support for the institution. The decline reflects growing backlash over the court's ideological direction.
The Supreme Court's approval rating has dropped to historic lows as Republicans, the party that traditionally defended the institution's independence, have begun abandoning it. The shift reflects anger over the court's ideological direction—presumably decisions that disappointed conservative expectations or appeared to prioritize ideology over law.
The Supreme Court's legitimacy has always depended on both parties viewing it as something larger than a political prize. When approval was split along party lines before, there was still a baseline of institutional respect. Now Republicans—the group that benefited most from recent Court decisions—are turning away. That suggests the Court has either moved in directions that even its ideological beneficiaries find problematic, or that the partisan war over appointments has destroyed public confidence in the institution itself. Either way, a historically low approval rating, especially among the party that appointed the majority, is a sign the Court's authority is eroding.
