It's Thursday, today's show why public trust in the Supreme Court keeps dropping.

It's her Politico Playbook Daily briefing.

A new poll from Gallup set for release today, shows a drop in approval of and confidence in

the Supreme Court. Gallup previewed some of the key findings for Playbook. The top line,

less than half of Americans say they have a great deal or a fair amount of trust in the

judicial branch of the federal government. That represents a 20 percentage pointcentage point drop from two years ago, including seven points in just

the last year.

This is the lowest confidence rating for the judicial branch in Gallup's trend by six

points that contrasts with trust levels exceeding two-thirds in most years in Gallup's

trend since 1972.

The drop in trust is driven largely by a sharp decline among Democrats, whose level of

trust is half of what it was one year ago.

The new poll marks the first time that less than half of Democrats and independents express

faith in the judicial branch.

The new Gallup poll also finds a record-tying low of Americans saying

the approval of the job the Supreme Court is doing. Meanwhile, a record high percentage of Americans

say the Supreme Court is too conservative. The Supreme Court has long been one of the few
