Fox News Poll: Record 55% disapprove of SCOTUS
60% disapprove of overturning Roe v. Wade

On the heels of the high court overturning the landmark abortion case Roe v. Wade in late June, a new Fox News survey finds a record number of registered voters disapproving of the U.S. Supreme Court.

The poll, released Thursday, finds 55% of voters discontent with the court’s job performance. That’s a 7-point jump from June, shortly before the ruling, and up 24 points from two years ago in July 2020. This is the first time over half have disapproved since Fox began asking the question in 2006 — at that time, 50% approved, 30% disapproved.

Compared to two years ago, those with the largest increases in disapproval are liberals (+39 percentage points), Democrats (+33), moderates (+33), suburban women (+32), independents (+32), and suburban Whites (+32).

While the court’s overall approval rating held relatively steady since the start of summer (39% in June vs. 41% now), it’s down 13 points since July 2020. Plus, those that were unsure two years ago have gained more clarity: 15% were uncertain of the court then and 14% in June 2022, but just 4% feel that way now.
