Two-Thirds Of Americans Support Supreme Court Term LimitsCurrently there are no Supreme Court term limits. However, several polls have suggested that the vast majority of Americans are in favor of term limits for Supreme Court Justices. In an article in Axios, Erin Doherty discusses the latest poll. Here is an excerpt:

67% of Americans favor term limits for Supreme Court justices, per a new poll from AP and NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

Driving the news: That includes 82% of Democrats and 57% of Republicans.

43% of Americans also say they have “hardly any” confidence in the court — up from 27% three months ago.

The big picture: The poll comes soon after the Supreme Court issued a number of high-profile rulings, including overturning Roe v. Wade and expanding gun rights.
