A recent NBC News Decision Desk Poll indicates that a significant majority of American adults (81%) believe that the Trump administration should comply with federal court rulings, while 19% think it should be allowed to ignore them. However, opinions are divided among the president’s strongest supporters, with 50% of MAGA movement backers agreeing that Trump should adhere to court orders. In contrast, nearly unanimous support arises from Democrats (96%) and a strong majority of independents (87%) advocating for compliance.
The issue of court adherence has intensified as the administration rapidly pursues executive actions, particularly its deportation policies. White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller has criticized federal judges, labeling them as “Marxist judges” for allegedly undermining presidential authority. Several judges are also deliberating whether to hold executive officials in contempt for not adhering to judicial orders.
One notable case involves Kilmar Abrego Garcia, deported to El Salvador due to what was initially described as an “administrative error.” After a Supreme Court ruling requiring the administration to facilitate his return, the Trump administration took nearly two months to comply.
Regarding views of the Supreme Court, 55% of Americans view it favorably, with significantly more Republicans (75%) expressing positive opinions compared to Democrats (34%). Notably, only a small percentage of respondents hold strong feelings—both favorable (11%) and unfavorable (12%)—about the Court.
The poll was conducted from May 30 to June 10, surveying 19,410 adults, with a margin of error of ±2.1%. It reflects public sentiment ahead of the Supreme Court’s key rulings, including those impacting presidential policy authority.
