Whether respondents approve of the way the U.S. Supreme Court is doing its job, asked in CES with a four-point strength scale across several years.
AI-matched An AI model grouped these questions and mapped their answers onto shared categories, and a second AI review checked and corrected the grouping and mapping. No person has checked it: compare the question wordings and the answer mapping below before reading the lines against each other.
Latest: 30% answered “Somewhat approve” in CES: Approval of the Supreme Court's job performance, 2024.
Shares of people whose answer maps onto these categories (non-answers and answers outside the scale are left out), because surveys differ in whether they offer “don’t know.” Each point is one survey wave at the middle of its field period. Lines from different surveys are never spliced together.
