Public trust in the US Supreme Court is way down in polls as of June 2022.

Judged as of June 2022. The claim is that public trust or confidence in the US Supreme Court had fallen sharply in polls. True: major polls from around that time (e.g. Gallup's June 2022 confidence survey, Pew, Marquette) show a substantial fall in confidence or approval, to record or near-record lows, compared with prior years. Mostly true: the polls show a clear decline that is moderate rather than steep, or the decline appears in most polls but not all. Mixed: the polls disagree, with some showing large falls and others little change. Mostly false: the declines were small and within the normal range. False: polls showed trust stable or rising.
