With the Obamacare hearing less than a month away, the United States Supreme Court’s approval rating has hit an all-time “new low” according to a new poll.
“[F]ewer voters than ever view the high court positively,” according to Rasmussen Reports. “Nineteen percent rate the highest court in the land as poor.” Rasmussen added that “28 percent give the Supreme Court good or excellent ratings.”
“[Chief Justice John] Roberts is protective of the court’s reputation,” wrote Robert Barnes of The Washington Post, “and sensitive to the perception that its decisions are politicized.” Former acting solicitor attorney general Walter Dellinger, who supports the health care law, suggested in the same column that Roberts would “want to write a narrow opinion” in the Supreme Court ruling on the law.
