Public opinion of the Supreme Court remains underwater but has improved by several percentage points since it dropped precipitously in June 2022 when the court overturned Roe v. Wade, according to a new poll.

Among U.S. adults responding to the latest Marquette Law School survey, 47 percent currently approve of the court, while 53 percent do not. The school interviewed 1,000 adults nationwide from Jan. 9 to Jan. 20. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.8 percentage points.
