Marquette Law School National Poll on Political Topics

Description

Marquette University Law School is pleased to bring you the results of a national survey of public opinion. The release will occur on two days, November 17-18, via video conversations between poll director Charles Franklin and Mike Gousha.

On Wednesday, November 17, the Marquette Law School Poll will release results pertaining to public opinion about the U.S. Supreme Court. This is the third installment in a series of six nationwide surveys throughout the 2021-22 academic year measuring public perception and awareness of the nation’s highest court. It follows the Marquette Law School Poll’s previous national surveys about the Court—one in fall 2019 and the other in fall 2020, immediately before the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Franklin will then share findings in the Marquette Law School Poll’s national query into general topics, on Thursday, November 18. This poll looks at public opinion about President Biden’s job performance, COVID-19 issues, and possible 2024 Trump candidacy, among other items.
National poll on political topics – Thursday, November 18

The new Marquette Law School national poll looks at President Biden’s job approval rating and how that has changed since September, as well as approval of his handling of the COVID-19 situation. At a time of generally declining numbers of COVID cases, the survey also asks respondents how serious they think the pandemic is in their states now and about their own vaccination status and willingness to be vaccinated. Support and opposition to vaccination requirements for companies with more than 100 employees are also measured.

Looking at the role of former President Donald Trump in future elections, the survey asks if respondents would like to see him run again in 2024 and if they currently prefer Trump or Biden in a possible rematch. The poll also measures favorability towards Vice President Kamala Harris, former Vice President Mike Pence, and both Biden and Trump.

The poll also inquires about confidence in the accuracy of the election outcome in 2020 and perceptions of the ideological positions of Biden and the Democratic and Republican parties.
