The approval rating of the nation’s highest court stands at 40 per cent, according to a new poll

The Supreme Court’s approval rating has plunged to one of its lowest levels yet ahead of a ruling on Donald Trump’s eligibility to run for president.

The approval rating of the nation’s highest court stands at 40 per cent, according to the latest poll released by Marquette Law School on Wednesday.

The latest numbers rival only those of July 2022, when only 38 per cent of US adults said they approved of the Supreme Court and 61 per cent disapproved – just after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade.

    So it’s the lowest yet but it was lower in July 2022? Which is it? Did a fucking robot write this?

      Emphasis mine, ofc. I don’t disagree that it’s worded awkwardly… I was wondering the same thing as you until I reread it several times. ¯⁠\⁠(⁠°⁠_⁠o⁠)⁠/⁠¯

        I overreacted, I’ve been super paranoid about automation enshitifying every aspect of online culture and media lately.

            I ran into a chatbot putting “Dr” in front of its name for an article. Pretty obviously so, given it introduced itself with, no joke, “Hi, I’mCustomer.”

            Seems… Illegal.
