Public approval of the Supreme Court declined yet again, continuing its steady decrease in recent months, according to a new Marquette Law School poll published Wednesday.

Thirty-eight percent of those surveyed approved of the performance of the high court, compared to 44% who approved in May and 54% who approved in March.

It’s a sharp decline from about two years ago when the high court enjoyed a 66% approval rating in September of 2020. The poll comes at a time when many liberal activist groups say it is time to overhaul the size and the structure of the court in the wake of a number of conservative-leaning opinions.
