For the first time since Gallup started asking the question over 50 years ago, more than half of those surveyed said they have little or no trust in the Institution.  “The Hill” says “At the top of the list, the biggest loser of 2022, is the Supreme Court – once the most highly respected institution of our government, but no longer.”
