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%.
A convicted felon rapist who incited an insurrection and illegally attempted to overturn an election will become our leader and the most influential person on the planet.
Yeah. Our judicial system is an international embarrassment.
And so are we as a society.
Stripping the fundamental right to control one’s own body from half the population has dealt an even more personal blow to faith in the Courts. And we’re seeing more deaths as it plays out in the red states, bringing it home to more families.
The “party of freedom” took away a fundamental right from half our populace.
Make it make sense.
Women are now second class citizens in America.
I don’t think that fact has sunk in for a lot of people yet. Including a lot of women.
Our judicial system is an international embarrassment.
And the only other option would rather keep repeating everything is fine while the house burns down instead of working to fix it.
Biden really said “no one is above the law”.
Like, anyone stupid enough to believe that is already voting R. For Dem voters it required too much cognitive dissonance. Either Biden was bald face lying, or he honestly believed it, which is even worse because it’s obviously not true
Fucking wonder why
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.
And yet, it’s even lower than that.
Damn bro idk why
