随着最高法院为新任期做好准备,美国民众对司法部门的信任和信心降至新低,盖洛普民意调查机构如此报道。
Americans' trust and confidence in the judicial branch has hita new low as the Supreme Court prepares for a newterm, according to Gallup.
整体来看:大法官们暑假期间就一系列影响重大的紧急案件作出裁决,允许特朗普总统最具争议的部分行政措施(但并非全部)继续执行,随后重返审判席。
The big picture: The justices return to the bench after spendingtheirsummer making consequential emergency-docket decisions allowing some (but not all) of President Trump's most controversial executive actions to proceed.
数据背后的推动因素:自2022年以来,表示对以最高法院为首的司法部门有“很大程度”或“相当程度”信任和信心的美国人已不足一半。在盖洛普自1972年以来的趋势数据中,这一比例此前从未跌破50%。
Driving the news: Since 2022, fewer than half of Americans have reported a great deal or a fair amount of trust and confidence in the judicial branch, headed by the Supreme Court — a share that had never dipped below 50% before in Gallup's trend stretching back to 1972. 54% reported having not very much trust and confidence or none at all.
54%的受访者表示,自己对司法部门的信任和信心很少,或者完全没有。
The slice who disapprove of how the Supreme Court is handling its job is tied for the record high — 61%, recorded in September and July of this year — while the share who approve has fallen under 35% for the second survey in a row.
对最高法院处理工作的方式表示不赞成的人占比与历史最高纪录持平,达到61%;今年9月和7月均曾录得这一数值。与此同时,表示赞成的人占比连续两次调查低于35%.话里有话:在盖洛普的趋势数据中,表示至少对司法部门有“相当程度”信任的人占比,在2022年9月首次跌破一半。那是在大法官们投票推翻《罗诉韦德案》判决约三个月之后。
Between the lines: The percentage who reported at least a fair amount of trust in the judicial branch slipped below half for the first time in Gallup's trend in September 2022, some three months after the justices voted to overturn Roe v. Wade.
民主党人推动了这一信任度暴跌。目前,民主党人中至少对司法部门有相当程度信任和信心的比例降至23%。2020年,这一比例超过一半,为58%。
Democrats have largely driven the trust freefall, with those who have at least a fair about of trust and confidence down to 23%. In 2020, more than half (58%) shared that sentiment.
独立人士的信任度也大幅下降,目前降至42%,较此前下滑约20个百分点。
Trust among independents has also plummeted by some 20 points, down to 42% today.
是的,但:白宫主人特朗普对自己任内钦点的最高法院大法师本审期内的表现也颇为不满。
Yes, but: The Republican in the White House has been displeased with his own SCOTUS picks this term.
本月早些时候,特朗普因最高法院否决其邮寄投票规则改写、全球关税以及出生公民身份政策而怒斥最高法院。他在自己的Truth Social社交平台上发文称:“这些人不是我当初选来担任美国最高法院大法官的人。”然而,盖洛普poll显示,43%的受访者认为最高法院过于保守,为人数最多的单一选项;17%认为其过于自由;35%认为其大致合适。
Trump raged at the Supreme Court earlier this month for rejecting his mail-in voting rule rewrite, global tariffs and birthright citizenship policy, writing in a lengthy Truth Social post that "[t]hese are not the people I interviewed to serve on the United States Supreme Court." However, a plurality in Gallup's poll (43%) said the court was too conservative, while 17% said it was too liberal, and 35% said it was about right.
我们关注的是:法院将于周一公布裁决事项清单,并就与气候变化和退伍军人福利相关的案件进行本庭期的首次口头辩论。
What we're watching: The court will release an order list and hear its first oral arguments of the term on Monday in cases related to climate change and veterans' benefits.
大法官们也许正开启新的庭期,但在公众舆论的法庭上,他们并不是从一张白纸开始。
The justices may be starting a new term, but they aren't getting a clean slate in the court of public opinion.
