22% have 'great deal' or 'quite a bit' support for the Supreme Court.
40% have 'some confidence'.
38% have 'very little or no' support.

In other words, 62% have some to a lot of confidence in scotus.
Only 38% have little or no confidence in scotus.
That is 5 of 8 supporting scotus with only 3 of 8 saying it sucks.
It's about twice trump's approval rating.

It is a meaningless poll, since 'some confidence' is ambiguous. Scotus did just recently rule against trump tariffs which could sway democrats to select 'some confidence'.
A better poll would ask 'do you overall approve or disapprove'. An approval poll.
