The poll did find, however, that 53% of respondents believe that Supreme Court justices vote on the basis of their partisan political views, a 10-point jump since January, as opposed to 33% who believe they vote based on the law.
The decision on affirmative action was also found to be the most popular of the Supreme Court’s three big recent decisions, the other two being decisions that a website designer did not have to design websites catered to LGBT people and the striking down of the Biden administration’s student debt forgiveness program.
