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%.
No shit?
Maybe if the judicial systems would start prosecuting actual criminals like Trump, Musk, Bezos, Clintons, CEOs, corporations and a bunch of people in power incl our war criminal presidents instead of people acting out of desperation, the public would have confidence in it.
Remember, people are resorting to extremes and MAGA movements because our systems have failed them and they don’t see a way out apart from being mavericks.
