Can Biden’s Supreme Court Reforms Survive Without Majority Support?

A plurality of Americans agree, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows, but the poll reveals a sharp political schism emerging over the issue.

For the Supreme Court, the stakes will be high.

President and former Democratic Party candidate Joe Biden made clear his disdain for the current U.S. Supreme Court by proposing that justices have term limits and by imposing a “code of ethics” on its members.

“To what extent do you agree or disagree with Biden’s plan?” Respondents were given five possible responses: “Agree strongly,” “Agree somewhat,” “Disagree somewhat,” “Disagree strongly,” and “Not sure.” The poll has a margin of error of +/-2.7 percentage points.

In the national online I&I/TIPP Poll of 1,488 adults taken from July 31 -Aug. 2, Americans were asked the following question: “President Biden wants Congress to impose term limits and a code of ethics on the Supreme Court.

Overall, 46% said they either agreed strongly (25%) or somewhat (21%), while a total of 37% said they either disagreed somewhat (10%) or strongly (27%).
