MAGA Republicans Prop Up the Court

Recent Economist/YouGov polling finds just 31% of Americans approve of the Supreme Court overall, but support breaks strongly by faction: 63% of Republicans approve and 73% of self‑identified MAGA Republicans approve, while only 12% of Democrats do. The survey also shows widespread public belief that the Court is conservative (45%) and significant differences by how closely people follow the news. — High partisan concentration of Court approval signals a growing legitimacy gap that could affect compliance with rulings, presidential‑court relations, and how the public evaluates judicial power.
