Gallup decided to feature that aspect in a curious reverse of the \u201cRepublicans pounce!\u00ae\u201d media narrative. It headlines this poll result thusly:<\/p>\n<h5>Democrats\u2019 Approval of Supreme Court at Record-Low 13%<\/h5>\n<p>Actually, the overall rating shows that\u00a0<em>overall<\/em> approval of the Supreme Court <em>rose<\/em> three points \u2014 within the margin of error, but not a drop:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>After several prominent rulings at the end of its term in June, most of which were decided in favor of conservatives\u2019 positions on the issues, the U.S. Supreme Court\u2019s overall job approval rating is 43%, statistically unchanged from last year\u2019s 40% reading. However, the stability in the overall reading masks big swings among partisans, with Republicans\u2019 approval rating rising 29 percentage points to 72% and Democrats\u2019 falling 23 points to 13%. \u2026<\/p>\n<p>The Gallup poll was conducted July 5-26, after the court handed down some of its most consequential rulings in decades on abortion and environmental policy. During this period, the court also ruled on a case concerning gun rights; while only impacting citizens in the state of New York, this case brought the court into public focus in the context of the national debate on gun ownership rights and safety. The current job approval ratings come on the heels of public confidence in the Supreme Court dropping to a record low in June.<\/p>\n<p>The trend in Supreme Court approval suggested the institution had already taken a public image hit long before it announced its 2021-2022 term decisions in June. The Court stirred controversy outside the term last September when it allowed a controversial Texas abortion law to go into effect and allowed colleges to require students to wear face masks to prevent COVID-19 transmission but rejected President Biden\u2019s mask mandate for federal workers.<\/p>\n<p>The difference between the reading from September of last year and the current reading is that in September, the three major party groups were about equally upset with the court, whereas now Republicans are much more pleased and Democrats much more disappointed with how it is handling its job.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In other words, Republicans liked the outcomes in the 2021-22 term and Democrats didn\u2019t. What about independents? They stayed right at 40%, same as last year, a level that has been the floor for the past twelve years or so. It\u2019s basically business as usual among the partisans, as the Gallup chart shows, although the amplitude is higher with the end of\u00a0<em>Roe<\/em> than in other cycles:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The amplitude of the reactions likely has to do with the nature of the cases decided this term, and the fact that a 6-3 conservative majority has a real impact on the decisions. That will make Republicans happy, who may have been skeptical about that proposition, and it makes Democrats unhappy in equal measure. However, this is only different in measure rather than effect, as Gallup\u2019s chart shows.<\/p>\n<p>I prefer my headline, of course, which has the virtue of focusing on the overall result rather than a preferred narrative. YMMV, of course; it\u2019s just as legit to headline this as \u201cRepublican approval of Supreme Court hits record high.\u201d Or for that matter, \u201cRepublican approval of Supreme Court nearly equals Democrats\u2019 peak in 2015.\u201d Better yet, \u201cPartisan approval of Supreme Court follows familiar pattern.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The latter would be the most accurate, but wouldn\u2019t get that sweet clickbait traffic we all secretly love while publicly sniffing at it. Can\u2019t blame Gallup for trying, and at least they\u2019re making an effort in putting a new spin on pouncing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes it did, and for precisely the reason you\u2019d suspect, too.
