According to a joint poll by the Washington Post and Ipsos, more than half of Americans disapprove of the Federal Supreme Court's work performance; 46% of respondents believe that the court relied on ideology rather than legal provisions when hearing policy cases related to the Trump administration. The approval rating data released this month hit a new low for the court in recent years, and also reflects a long-term trend: more and more Americans believe that court decisions are partisan. In the judicial year that came to an end in June of this year, several Supreme Court rulings brought a key victory to the Trump administration — expanding the president's executive powers and allowing the government to expel hundreds of thousands of immigrants lawfully residing in the US. However, on other core policy issues, the court has also rejected Trump's claims: such as maintaining birthright citizenship and stopping Trump's plans to impose large-scale tariffs on products from many countries around the world; the court also ruled that at least at this stage, the president has no right to dismiss Democratic members of the Federal Reserve's board of directors. According to this new poll, 55% of Americans have a negative evaluation of the Supreme Court's performance of duties, and only 41% agree. The value is hovering at an all-time low, but has yet to drop to the peak of dissatisfaction in 2022. According to Gallup poll data back then, 58% of people did not approve of court work, and only 40% had a positive attitude.
