Recent Supreme Court decisions on affirmative action, student loan forgiveness, and free speech have resonated with a significant portion of the American public, according to a new ABC News/Ipsos poll. The survey reveals that a majority of Americans support the Court's rulings, sparking discussions about the alignment of public sentiment with these landmark decisions.

The Supreme Court's decision to end affirmative action in college admissions, citing the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause, garnered approval from 52% of respondents, while 32% disapproved. This ruling effectively prohibits universities from using race as a determining factor in admissions.

The Court also struck down President Biden's student loan forgiveness plan, deeming it unconstitutional. This decision received support from 45% of those surveyed, with 40% expressing disapproval. Chief Justice John Roberts, referencing a 2021 statement by then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi, emphasized that the power to enact such widespread debt cancellation resides with Congress, not the President.

The partisan divide on this issue is stark, with 71% of Republicans backing the Court's decision compared to only 17% of Democrats.

In another key ruling, the Court sided with a Christian graphic designer who refused to create websites for same-sex weddings, citing religious objections. Public opinion on this free speech case is more evenly split, with 43% supporting the ruling and 42% opposing it. The decision underscores the tension between anti-discrimination laws and religious freedom.

The poll, conducted from June 30 to July 1, has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.6 percentage points. The findings suggest a complex interplay between legal interpretations, political viewpoints, and public perception regarding these significant Supreme Court decisions.
