Majority opposes expanding Supreme Court even after abortion ruling: Poll

Although many people have expressed their disapproval of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, a majority is still wary of expanding the number of justices appointed to the high court.

Only one-third of voters would be in favor of expanding the Supreme Court beyond its nine seats, while 54% said they would oppose the move, according to an NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll published Monday. The opinion is largely split along party lines, with 62% of Democrats in favor of expanding the court and 90% of Republicans opposed. Fifty-seven percent of independents oppose it.
