  • The United States saw a sharp drop of 24 percentage points over the last four years, setting the country apart from other wealthy nations where most people on average still express trust in their systems.

The article from PBS NewsHour discusses a recent Gallup poll indicating that Americans' confidence in the judicial system has plummeted to a record low. Only 47% of Americans expressed a "great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in the U.S. judicial system, marking a significant decline from previous years. This drop in confidence is attributed to several factors including high-profile cases, perceived political bias in judicial decisions, and the controversial confirmation processes of Supreme Court justices. The poll also highlighted a stark partisan divide, with Democrats showing less confidence than Republicans, particularly following decisions that they view as politically motivated. This erosion of trust spans across various demographics, reflecting broader concerns about the impartiality and integrity of the judicial branch.
