Most don't trust Supreme Court on election cases: Poll
Most Americans say they don’t have much confidence in the Supreme Court to make the “right decisions” on legal cases related to the 2024 election, according to a CNN poll released Monday.
Asked how much they trust the Supreme Court on the matter, 58 percent of respondents said either “not at all” or “just some,” at 23 percent and 35 percent, respectively. Only 11 percent said they trusted the Supreme Court “a great deal,” while 31 percent said “a moderate amount.”
The poll, which was conducted Jan. 25-30, showed a slight partisan split in trust in the Supreme Court to deal with 2024 election cases.
Among Democrats, 63 percent of respondents had either no trust at all, at 27 percent, or just some trust, 36 percent. The poll found higher opinions of the court amongst Republicans, 48 percent of whom said they had either no trust, 17 percent, or just some trust, 31 percent. Independents held similar views to Democrats.
The Supreme Court could play an important role in the 2024 presidential campaign cycle, as former President Trump solidifies his spot as the GOP front-runner despite facing four criminal indictments, two of which are related to his efforts to stay in power in 2020 after losing the presidential election.
