Supreme Court joins Trump, Congress in job approval slump

politics

America's three branches of government have all hit historic approval lows. Per Axios reporting by Josephine Walker, the Supreme Court's approval has sunk to thirty-three percent — a record — joining Congress at thirteen point five percent and President Trump at thirty-four percent. The court's collapse reflects deep partisan fracture: Republicans are frustrated the justices bucked Trump on birthright citizenship and tariffs, while Democrats remain angry over the Roe v. Wade reversal. The bigger picture is bleaker still — Americans' confidence in fourteen major institutions has crashed to an average of just twenty-seven percent, suggesting Americans increasingly believe their core institutions simply aren't working.
