Summary

Americans’ confidence in the US judicial system hit a record low of 35% in 2024, dropping 24 points since 2020, according to a Gallup poll.

This decline is among the steepest globally over similar periods.

Confidence fell sharply among Biden’s opponents, likely tied to Trump’s legal cases, while Biden supporters’ confidence dropped 18 points this year, reflecting dissatisfaction with court rulings favoring Trump.

Democrats’ trust in the Supreme Court plummeted after the 2022 Dobbs decision and further declined in 2024. Meanwhile, Republican trust rose to 71%.

    It can be hard to avoid repeating history even under the best circumstances. But if you have a weak education system, which varies GREATLY from state to state or county to county, you’re basically doomed to repeat it. I’ve met some people that technically graduated high school, but shouldn’t have made it out of 3rd grade. We’re letting people waltz through the system and come out unbelievably under-educated. It’s sad.

    And that’s why a rapist is about to be our president.
