A Marquette University poll shows most Americans have little faith in President Trump's ability to pick the right person for next Supreme Court vacancy.
A majority of Americans disapprove of President Donald Trump’s handling of appointments to the U.S. Supreme Court and doubt he would pick the “right kind of person” to fill the next opening on the high court, according to a new and wide-ranging national survey about the court by the Marquette University Law School.
By a large margin, Americans trust the Supreme Court more than either of the other two branches of government , according to the nationwide poll of 1,423 adults taken Sept. 3 to 13. The court is not perceived as highly partisan or extreme. Notably, its chief justice, John Roberts, is the least polarizing member of the court when it comes to the difference between how Democrats and Republicans view individual justices; Brett Kavanaugh, appointed by Republican Trump, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, appointed by Democrat Bill Clinton, are the most polarizing along partisan lines.
But the next most popular ruling was one embraced more widely on the left than the right: the ruling establishing a constitutional right for same-sex couples to marry. Roberts ranked right in the middle, at fifth, in name recognition, after Ginsburg, Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas and Sonia Sotomayor. Ginsburg, Sotomayor and Roberts had the most positive ratings, while Kavanaugh – who was at the center of a divisive confirmation fight last year – was the only justice who was viewed negatively by more people than viewed him positively.
There are huge partisan differences among U.S. adults over revisiting Roe v. Wade, over how the court should handle Obamacare and over whether the court should decide that a business owner’s free speech rights or religious beliefs can justify refusing service to gay customers.
