The end-of-term rulings handed out by SCOTUS brought significant change to their overall job approval.

Currently, 43% of voters approve of the way SCOTUS is doing their job, while 44% disapprove. Disapproval fell 9 points over the course of a month. Those numbers include 11% who Strongly Approve and 20% who Strongly Disapprove. That 2-1 ratio tilting towards Strong Disapproval is similar to the president's own splits on approval.

Interestingly, the 43% approval mark is unchanged over that same span, suggesting that those who no longer disapprove are still skeptical of the court as a whole.

Trump v. the Court System

President Trump has had a tumultuous relationship with the court system in his second term. In February, SCOTUS ruled against the president's self-imposed tariffs in a move that disappointed many in the MAGA movement but was otherwise overwhelmingly popular.

Earlier in his term, 42% of voters said that District courts had none gone far enough in blocking the President's orders.

In this latest set of rulings, 32% of voters say SCOTUS generally ruled for President Trump rather than against him. One quarter (24%) disagreed, and another quarter (26%) said the rulings seemed about equally balanced for and against the President.

Overall, this perception is more balanced than perhaps might be expected, given that a significant plurality say SCOTUS is too conservative.
