Senate Democratic leader Charles Schumer got himself in hot water last week with a public attack on two U.S. Supreme Court justices. While voters see judges as political creatures, most disapprove of threatening judges by name.
Just 24% of Likely U.S. Voters think it is appropriate for elected officials and political candidates to criticize specific judges, down from 37% in May of last year. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 59% disagree, believing such attacks threaten the independence of the judicial system, up from 48% in the previous survey. Seventeen percent (17%) remain undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.
