Growing number of Americans lack confidence in Supreme Court: Survey
A new Washington Post-Ipsos poll reveals that confidence in the U.S. Supreme Court's decision-making is declining among Americans. Nearly half of adults (46%) believe that the justices are guided by political ideology rather than the rule of law. The survey, conducted earlier this month, highlights a significant erosion of public trust in the highest court, reflecting broader concerns about politicization of judicial institutions. The findings underscore a growing partisan divide in perceptions of the Court's legitimacy.
