: The Volokh ConspiracyPublic Opinion About the Supreme Court
By Orin Kerr
Is the Supreme Court too conservative? Not according to the public, it seems.
Specifically, Rasmussen has a new poll out that asked 1,000 likely voters the following question: ?In political terms is the Supreme Court too liberal, too conservative, or about right?? Here are the results:
Too liberal: 32%
About right: 33%
Too conservative: 23%
Not sure: 11%(Margin of Sampling Error, +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence)
I don?t know a lot about the reputation of Rasmussen?s polling, so I don?t know if these numbers are reliable. But if they?re accurate, it?s fascinating to see such a gap between public opinion and portrayals of the Court in the media.
