Just one in three Americans approve of how Supreme Court justices are doing their job, according to a new Gallup poll that shows Republicans are particularly dissatisfied with the court.
The July 2026 poll revealed that 33% of Americans approve of the high court, a record low for the 26-year poll. Previously, the lowest bar was at 39% from Gallup data collected in July 2025.
Low ratings from Democrats and independents likely reflect their unhappiness with the ideological tilt of the court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, Jeffrey M. Jones wrote for Gallup. But Republicans may be disappointed that the conservative court hasn’t gone far enough – and, in fact, thwarted key Trump administration policy goals, Jones said.
Only 58% of Republicans approved of the court's performance in July 2026 compared with 79% in September 2025 and 75% in July 2025. Democrats' approval rating of the court remained in similarly low range in that time period, only spanning 11% to 14%. The total approval rating during those three time periods was 39% in July 2025, 42% in September 2025 and 33% – the record low, in July 2026.
