A poll released Wednesday found Americans' approval rating for the Supreme Court is growing.
A Marquette Law School survey found that 47% of adults approved of the Supreme Court's job, the highest level in more than a year, while 53% disapproved.
This survey, conducted from March 18th to 28th, showed a notable change compared to the February survey in which 40% of adults were in favor of the Supreme Court and 60% were against it.
The uptick comes as the court takes up several high-profile cases, including whether states can ban former President Donald Trump from the 2024 presidential election ballot.
In that case, the court unanimously ruled that the state could not exclude Trump from the ballot under the Insurrection Clause of the 14th Amendment. More than half of those surveyed supported the court's decision.
The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments at the end of April on whether a former president can be exempt from criminal prosecution for official acts committed while in office. The case stems from Trump's indictment over his efforts to challenge the 2020 election and his involvement in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
In February, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously ruled that Trump was not immune from prosecution.
When asked without Trump's name, only 20% said the former president should be granted immunity, while when Trump's name was included, 28% said yes.
The court heard oral arguments in late March on a lower court decision restricting access to mifepristone, a drug used in medical abortions. A majority of adults (60%) say courts should maintain current levels of drug access, which would mean overturning lower court rulings.
The case was Roe v., in which the court protected abortion rights nationwide. This comes nearly two years after the Wade decision was overturned. After the ruling, the court's approval rating plummeted and has not reached the same level since.
