A Plurality Thinks Supreme Court Is Too Conservative

Posted on the 08 October 2017 by Jobsanger

Trump choice for the Supreme Court has been seated, and the Court is beginning its new season. We have yet to see how Justice Gorsuch will vote, but most people believe he will be as right-wing extremist as the justice he replace (Scalia).
That seems to be the opinion of a plurality of Americans. About 35% say this new Supreme Court is too conservative -- while 25% say its too liberal, 25% say its about right, and the remaining people are unsure. I suspect those who feel it's too conservative are right, but we'll know for sure next summer (when we start getting the court's decisions for this term).
The chart above reflects the results of a new Rasmussen Poll -- done on October 2nd and 3rd of a random national sample of 1,000 likely voters, with a 3 point margin of error.
