A recently conducted poll indicates broad American agreement with a series of significant Supreme Court decisions on free speech, affirmative action, and the cancellation of student loans.

These findings emerge amid contentious public discourse surrounding these landmark rulings, yet show most of America agrees them.

In a decision handed down last Thursday, the Supreme Court found affirmative action policies, which prioritize race in college admissions decisions, to contravene the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause.

This conclusion aligns with the opinion of the majority of Americans according to an ABC News/Ipsos survey, where 52% endorsed the decision to nullify race-based admissions criteria, compared to the 32% who opposed the ruling.

Furthermore, the Supreme Court, in a 6-3 vote, ruled against President Biden’s proposal to forgive student loans, citing its unconstitutionality.

Public opinion aligns with this judgement, as 45% of those surveyed approved of the court’s decision, compared to 40% who disagreed.

Chief Justice John Roberts, in his opinion, drew on previous statements from then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi to underline the limitation of presidential powers. He directly quoted Pelosi’s 2021 press briefing, “‘People think that the President of the United States has the power for debt forgiveness. He does not,’”

Roberts noted, continuing Pelosi’s words, “‘He can postpone. He can delay. But he does not have that power. That has to be an act of Congress.’”

Significantly, this stance resonated with a significant majority of Republicans, with 71% applauding the prevention of unilateral student loan cancellation by President Biden. This stood in contrast to the much smaller 17% of Democrats who were in agreement with the decision.

The Supreme Court also passed judgement in favor of a Christian graphic designer, asserting that her religious freedom would be compromised if she were forced to design a wedding website for a same-sex couple.

American opinion appears divided on this free speech ruling. The poll found a narrow margin, with 43% in favor of the verdict allowing businesses to refuse services that violate their faith, and 42% opposed.

Partisan lines were evident in the responses, as 68% of Republicans approved of this faith-based decision, while a mere 15% of Democrats agreed.

The ABC News/Ipsos poll was conducted from June 30 to July 1. The survey has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.6 percentage points, indicating its overall credibility.
